Summary/Abstract: Dialects vary across different regions of the Arab world, with each group of people being characterized by the dialects they speak. Despite all dialects having a common origin, and Arabic itself being the same, you will notice significant differences when traveling from one country to another. At the same time, certain dialects can spread across regions even without any direct connection between them. The differences between these dialects arise from various linguistic features, such as swapping or substituting letters, or adding letters in specific ways. The Egyptian writer Mustafa Sadiq Al-Rafi'i made considerable efforts to explore and study this phenomenon in his book The History of Arabic Literature. It is also well known that classical Arabic was not represented by the Quraish dialect alone; rather, it is a blend of several regional dialects. These dialects emerged due to various factors and influences over time.
