Dialects of Saudi Arabia

There are several different varieties of Arabic spoken in the Arabian Peninsula, and it's commonly stated that only three distinct dialects exist in Saudi Arabia, each corresponding to a different geographical region of what is one of the largest countries in the world. However, there are numerous other dialects, accents, and subdialects, some of which are very distinct. This diversity is often overlooked, and hard to fully capture in a single video. However, in this video, in addition to two of the better-known dialects (Hejazi and Najdi), we also feature a unique one from the southwestern part of Saudi Arabia that appears like a different language and is somewhat unknown to many Saudis. We were also supposed to have someone from the Eastern region as well, but something happened last minute and he was not able to join us. We definitely plan to feature more accent and dialects in the future.
If you speak a language that has not been featured on our channel and would like to participate in a future video, and/or if you have any suggestions or feedback, please follow and message on Instagram: / bahadoralast
I just want to mention for non-Arabic speakers, here is the fully translated portion of Hannan's paragraph: "We were gathered at my place this past Eid morning. I thought I would do good and make Masabeeb for my international friend. I handed her the honey to wipe down she came back with an empty sparkling clean jar. I asked her, where is the honey what did you do with it? It turns out she emptied it in the sink. Pure wild honey gone.. It’s true what they say, one who doesn’t know an eagle may cook it."
Hijazi (حجازي) is primarily spoken along the coast of the Red Sea (Mecca, Jeddah, Medina, Yanbu, etc.)
Najdi (نجدية) is primarily spoken in the center of Saudi Arabia, such as in Riyadh, the Ḥa'il Province (منطقة حائل), and among other places in the Rub' al-Khali (ربع الخالی) and Najran (نجران), as well as part of Syria, Iraq, and Jordan.
Southwestern dialects of Saudi Arabia have different subdialects and accent, and geographically range from approximately Al Bahah (الباحة) to the north, and include, among other regions, Asir (عسير) and Jizan (جيزان).
Arabic is a Central Semitic language and has official status in Algeria, Bahrain, Comoros, Chad, Djibouti, Egypt, Eritrea, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco, Oman, Palestine, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Somalia, Syria, Tanzania (Zanzibar), Tunisia, United Arab Emirates, and Yemen. Arabic is also the liturgical language of Islam. However, there are many varieties (dialects) of Arabic, which at times can vary drastically from the Modern Standard Arabic (Fus'ha).

As a linguist and a student of Arabic, I find this panel discussion to be the best thing that happened in the learning of the language. Please keep up the excellent work !

[@mravalik]

This is beautiful, hearing such different dialects of Arabic from across the Saudi regions, and the dialect I had grown fond when beginning to learn, was meaning that of Riyadh (if that’s a specific dialect). احترام الشعب السعودي 🇸🇦

[@mishmishitashan]

Hanan's Najdi is a very watered down version based on how it's spoken in Riyadh. The Najdi spoken in Riyadh lost many of the dialect's defining characteristics overtime to accommodate the influx of residents from elsewhere in the country and abroad. Even some of the explanations given weren't very precise (tesanna3 isn't homemaking, it simply means to fix up or to make right) and this is reflective of the city losing much of its original lexicon and the generational gap in how people speak within that city. Najdi speakers from elsewhere will speak more conservative dialects with the main difference being whether they speak North or South Najdi; both nowadays far removed from the Arabic spoken in Riyadh.

[@Ahmed-pf3lg]

This isn’t just Riyadh/Najdi though. Here in Jeddah/Mecca/Medina (Hijazi) it’s the same, the accent Lamees spoke is very old (she probably asked her parents about it). Today we speak a watered down version of it.

[@mishmishitashan]

@@Ahmed-pf3lg Agree. Generally the trend has been to go for a koine Arabic similar to Riyadh notably among the younger generation. This is presumably to be closer to formal Arabic and free of cultural/regional association. Likewise speakers of distinct dialects like Urban Hejazi, Gassimi, or Hasawi are expected to water down their speech and might be ridiculed in a variety of ways for not doing so. It's a generational shift that's also being supported by a common objective.

I am a non-native speaker of Hindi from South India. I believe the words बाग (Baag) and बगीचा (Bageecha) come from Persian and mean garden in Hindi.

I am a huge fan of your work, Bahador. Thank you for all that you do on this channel. I would like to make one small request, though. Would it be possible to provide English subtitles whenever the participants are presenting these long paragraphs? It would be nice to read the translation of the sentences.

The Hijazi one I can fully understand and never use, we used to call it Urban Hijazi (الحجازية الحضرية). So in the Hijazi region we mainly have 2 or 3 dialects 1. Urban Hijazi ( Developed in Jeddah and Makkah and some part of Madina, Influenced by Ottoman Empire and the Pilgrimage) 2. Nomad Hijazi ( mainly in Madina and parts of Makkah and Jeddah, the people who refused the Ottoman rule went to the desert and kept their own dialect with them and this dialect widely used by the Tripes of Hijaz) 3. Modern Hijazi (this one kinda lies in between the two and the everyday dialect).

The issue of whether Arabic is one language or many languages is politically charged, in the same way it is for the varieties of Chinese, Hindi and Urdu, Serbian and Croatian, Scots and English, etc. In contrast to speakers of Hindi and Urdu who claim they cannot understand each other even when they can, speakers of the varieties of Arabic will claim they can all understand each other even when they cannot.[68] While there is a minimum level of comprehension between all Arabic dialects, this level can increase or decrease based on geographic proximity: for example, Levantine and Gulf speakers understand each other much better than they do speakers from the Maghreb. The issue of diglossia between spoken and written language is a significant complicating factor: A single written form, significantly different from any of the spoken varieties learned natively, unites a number of sometimes divergent spoken forms. For political reasons, Arabs mostly assert that they all speak a single language, despite significant issues of mutual incomprehensibility among differing spoken versions.[69] From a linguistic standpoint, it is often said that the various spoken varieties of Arabic differ among each other collectively about as much as the Romance languages.[70] This is an apt comparison in a number of ways. The period of divergence from a single spoken form is similar-perhaps 1500 years for Arabic, 2000 years for the Romance languages. Also, while it is comprehensible to people from the Maghreb, a linguistically innovative variety such as Moroccan Arabic is essentially incomprehensible to Arabs from the Mashriq, much as French is incomprehensible to Spanish or Italian speakers but relatively easily learned by them. This suggests that the spoken varieties may linguistically be considered separate languages.

[@Enne-]

The Arabic language is standard across all region (tradional and modern stardard Arabic). Levant, gcc, morrocon, etc are all considered dialects not a language. You wont see dialects written or spoken anywhere formal or official. So we do all understand each other.

[@hijazlander]

Hindi and Urdu speakers can understand each other at a colloquial level, the more formal they become, they more different they sound, one borrows heavily from Farsi (Urdu) and the other from Sanskrit (Hindi).

The mutual intelligibility between Arabic speakers is always undermined as if we all struggle to understand each other, but it’s really not as complicated as some make it out to be. As a Saudi, I can understand Maghrebi dialects almost perfectly, save a few unique words here and there. The thing that I would like to point out though is that a lot of secluded areas (villages, bedouins, etc), there are some notable differences.

How different are these dialects from standard MSA?

[@abid6053]

There aren't many differences between Najdi and Hijazi dialects and MSA when it comes to vocabulary. Despite that, they differ slightly from MSA in their accent and grammar (like all other Arabic dialects). +It's worth mentioning that the Hijaz region is a very diverse place where people from all over the world have migrated since the dawn of Islam, so Hijazi Arabic has many vocabulary words that aren't of Arabic origin compared to other Saudi dialects.

[@hijazlander]

​@hijazlander Steta, teta, bakhsha, 6aagah, and many other. However, it is worth mentioning that other saudi dialects have loans words too. Like window in hijazi means "Taagah" comes from Turkish. And in Nejdi we say "Dareeshah" comes from Persian.

[@yousifmohammed4841]

We call it a 'White Dialect'. White here means neutral or non-biased. It is a dialect understood by all Saudis. It does not have its own grammatical rules, but it can be said that it includes commonly used words in all dialects without adding or changing specific letters or sounds.. It is not created by anyone, yet it has developed naturally over the years as a result of interaction between people from different tribes and regions. It can be compared to the situation in USA, where the dialect understood by all Americans is the one used in movies or news, or in Egypt, where the Cairene dialect is understood by all Egyptians and they speak it among each others, despite each region has its own dialect. I hope my explanation is clear to you :-)

It basically means like mother, like daughter but the analogy is terrible. It literally says; if you flip a pan/pot, you'd realise that the daughter (takes after/looks like) her mom, that's said, it refers that bottom of a burnt pan/pot is covered with soot, which has a negative reference/implication.
