Iraqi dialect is the LINK between Semetic languages ( Aabic /Hebrew/Syriac/Chaldean/Assyrian) from one side and lest's say Asian languages ( like Turkish /Farsi/Kurdish/Hindi and Urdu) on the other side. Iraq is an ocean of languages.

[@tutigseg]

Urdu and Hindi? Who the hell speaks Urdu and Hindi in Iraq?

[@khaldoonmk6177]

​​@@tutigseg I'm talking about words( vocabs) not languages. Even Farsi and yeni Türkçe aren't used in Iraq. We have many vocabs from the neighborhood even some are Russian words.

[@tutigseg]

@@khaldoonmk6177 well in terms of Persian vocabulary thats obvious but I don't think there are any Russian or Hindi words in any Iraqi language especially Urdu cuz Urdu itself is sort like a constructed language made up of Hindi and Persian

This video is such a gift! I was so pleased that I could follow most of what John was saying, only getting a bit lost once or twice! I started learning the Iraqi dialect, but couldn’t stick with the books I have. I’ve recently switched to an outstanding course which teaches the Palestinian dialect, but I agree with John that Iraqi is easier to understand as they keep the letters in. More videos like this please!

[@jfilson]

Im so glad it is helpful. Biggest thing for me is just enjoying the long process, because then nothing stops me from progressing. So great to learn falesTini too. Smart to go with a solid course.

[@try2justbe]

Why not learn the MSA first? it’s the basis for all other dialects in my opinion as a native speaker. We learn both simultaneously or automatically understand MSA.

[@Ahmed-pf3lg]

Iraqi as a whole is definitely closer to Gulf Arabic, and even in cities like Mosul and Northern Iraq, there's definitely gonna be a more "Levantine" Influence however it's still gonna sound more similar to Gulf Arabic because the famous Levantine accents are actually accents of the cities of the Levant, such as Damascus, Beirut, Halab, Amman, etc.. and all these cities are geographically very close to each other.. while Mosul is gonna be more similar to Eastern Syrian accents, which also has a strong "Gulf" or "Bedouin" influence to it.. so to put it shortly, Iraqi is more similar to Gulf accent.

[@LordOfTheChevelles]

I'm learning Baghdadi Arabic but I want to speak Maslawi but there are no materials for Maslawi. Is Baghdadi and Maslawi similar enough to learn one through the other?
