Study Palestinian Arabic Online: The Palestinian dialect is a colloquial Arabic dialect (Ammiya), part of the greater Southern Levantine dialect, that is spoken by the people of Palestine. The Palestinian dialect is considered to be the closest to Modern Standard Arabic, which is also known as “Fusha.” The pronunciation of many letters in the Palestinian dialect coincides with those of classical Arabic, with only slight modifications. This means that learning the Palestinian dialect will help you understand and develop your standard Arabic language skills. 

Studying Palestinian Arabic Online is also an ideal opportunity for those wishing to connect with the wider Palestinian diaspora and immerse themselves in the diverse culture of Palestine. Palestinian Arabic is spoken by approximately 13 million people in Palestine and among the Palestinian diaspora worldwide. It is one of the most widely spoken and recognizable dialects of Arabic. Although a sub-dialect of Levantine Arabic, Palestinian Arabic can vary between villages. There are further variations originating from the rural Fellahi and Bedouin and the urban Madani tribes. Despite these many variants and sub-dialects, Palestinian Arabic remains recognizable throughout Arabic-speaking countries and the Arab diaspora.

Palestine’s culture is rich and diverse due to its long history, geographical position, and religious significance. It lies at a crossroads between Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and the Mediterranean and has played host to at least five major empires. Because of its significance in one of the most influential regions in the world, Palestinian Arabic is widely spoken and understood.

Palestinian Colloquial Arabic closely resembles Modern Standard Arabic – the standard form used for writing and official purposes – making this dialect ideal for those wishing to study written Arabic or to use Arabic in professional environments.
