Bahrani Arabic (also known as Bahrani and Baharna Arabic) is a variety of Arabic spoken in Eastern Arabia and Oman. In Bahrain, the dialect is primarily spoken in Shia villages and some parts of Manama. The Bahrani Arabic dialect has been significantly influenced by the ancient Aramaic, Syriac and Akkadian languages. An interesting sociolinguistic feature of Bahrain is the existence of three distinct dialects: Bahrani, Sunni and Ajami Arabic. Sunni Bahrainis speak a dialect which is most similar to urban dialect spoken in Qatar. The Persian language has the most foreign linguistic influence on all the Bahraini dialects.〔(Dialect, Culture, and Society in Eastern Arabia: Glossary ). Clive Holes. 2001. Page XXX. ISBN 90-04-10763-0〕 The differences between Bahrani Arabic and other Bahraini dialects suggest differing historical origins. The main differences between Bahrani and non-Bahrani dialects are evident in certain grammatical forms and pronunciation. Most of the vocabulary, however, is shared between dialects, or is distinctly Bahraini, arising from a shared modern history. Many Bahrani words have also been borrowed from Hindi, Turkish, or English. == Examples of words borrowed from other languages == * ''bānka'' 'ceiling fan' from Persian * ''sōmān'' 'equipment' from Hindi. * ''lētar'' 'lighter' from English. * ''wīl'' 'wheel' from English * ''tēm'' 'time' from English * ''dareesha'' 'window ' from Ottoman Turkish * ''dowshag'' 'mattress' from Persian * ''orradi'' 'already' from English Bahrani dialect has borrowed some vocabulary from Persian, Hindi, Turkish, and more recently from English. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bahrani Arabic」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
