Summary
Jordanian Arabic is one of the most diverse dialects there is in the Levant region, as there are many dialects within Jordan, some of which are difficult to understand even by Jordanians themselves!
In general, Jordanian accent is known for its emphasis on some consonant letters, which can occur as a form of substitution of some sounds, like the “D” or “TH” sounds into the letter “ظ”, and the use of the “G” sound (as in the English word "go"), which is a sound that doesn't appear in Fusha Arabic at all!
Due to its geo-historical influences, Jordanian Arabic has had its share of borrowing from other languages such as English, Greek, Farsi and Turkish, while often adding a Jordanian “flavor” to them, like the English word “Corridor”, pronounced “Carry-door” in Jordan, with strong emphasis on the “R” sound.
This guide helps you understand Jordanian Arabic through key words and phrases as well as a broad overview of the language and its grammar.
