Abstract

With the exception of Jastrow’s study on Tikrīt Arabic verb morphology (1983), Tikrīt Arabic and its varieties have been largely neglected within the field of Arabic dialectology, leaving Johnstone’s The Spoken Arabic of Tikrīt (1975) as the main reference for nearly half a century. To bridge this gap, the present paper aims to examine the current state of Tikrīt Arabic in the city of Tikrīt and its surrounding towns, where Tikrīt Arabic is spoken either as a native tongue or as a second variety. In doing so, this paper will compare the phonological and morphological features observed in the five texts presented in the charts below with the general rules established for Tikrīt Arabic in previous studies.
