<b>Description:</b>
 
Gulf Arabic (also known as Khaliji, al-lahjat al-khalijiya اللهجة الخليجية) is a variety of the Arabic language spoken around both shores of the Persian Gulf such as in Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and parts of Oman. Some notable characteristics that set it apart from other Arabian dialects is the small number of Persian loanwords, and a pronunciation of k as ch (kalb "dog," read as chalb); q as g (daqiqa "minute," read as dagiga); and, in some instances, the pronunciation j as y (jeeb "bring" (masc), read as yeeb).<i>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/index.html?curid=909744 ..... full article at Wikipedia]</i></td></tr>
