During the last century, Baghdad Arabic has become the lingua franca of Iraq, and the language of commerce and education. It is a subvariety of Iraqi Arabic . An interesting sociolinguistic feature of Baghdad is the existence of three distinct dialects Muslim, Baghdad Arabic Jewish Jewish and Christian Baghdadi Arabic. Muslim Baghdadi belongs to a group called gilit dialects, while Jewish Baghdadi as well as Christian Baghdadi belongs to qeltu dialects. Baghdadi gilit Arabic, which is considered the standard Baghdadi Arabic, shares many features with Gulf Arabic and with varieties spoken in some parts of eastern Syria . Gilit Arabic is of Bedouin provenance, unlike Christian and Jewish Baghdadi, which is believed to be descendant of Medieval Iraqi Arabic . Until the 1950s Baghdad Arabic contained a large inventory of borrowings from English language English , Turkish language Turkish , Persian language Persian or Kurdish language . During the first decades of the 20th century, when the population of Baghdad was less than a million, some inner city quarters had their own distinctive speech characteristics, maintained for generations. From about the 1960s, with the population movement within the city, and the influx of large numbers of people hailing mainly from the south, Baghdad Arabic has become more standardized, and has come to incorporate some rural and Bedouin features. Distinct features of Muslim Baghdadi Arabic is the use of ani as opposed to the fusha ana meaning I am . Also, they add ich ... .

unreferenced date December 2008 Jijel Arabic is a dialect of Arabic language Arabic spoken specifically in the Jijel Province in northeastern Algeria , but traces of it reach parts of the neighboring provinces of Skikda and Mila . It is quite different from all the other Arabic dialects spoken in eastern Algeria and has probably survived into present times because of the geographic enclavement of that mountainous area and the difficulty of terrestrial connections with the rest of the country for centuries. It is a relic of the pre Banu Hilal Hilalian Arabic dialects resulting from the first Arabic invasion in the 7th and 8th centuries that were once spoken in all the north of Constantine but which were later replaced by Hilalian Bedouin Arabic that was brought by the second wave of Arab invasions during the 11th century. Pre Hilalian Arabic dialects remained intact only in a small area around Jijel while they were heavily mixed with bedouin dialects in the areas of Constantine, Algeria Constantine , Mila , Collo and El Milia . These pre Hilalian Arabic dialects have survived also in the Algerian region of Tlemcen as well as in northern Morocco and to this day Northern Moroccan Arabic, Tlemcen Arabic, and Jijel Arabic are still very close to one another.
