A Study on the Modern Iraqi Arabic Variety and the Linguistic Characters

The Arabic community, consisting of 22 allied nations in Southwest Asia and northern Africa, is seen as a monolingual community unified in Arabic language, but it has a very complex structure from the inside. The official language of the Arab League is the standardized written Arabic language(Fusḥā), but the communication in informal situations is generally used by the spoken Arabic(ʕāmmiya). The Arabs have religious faith and admiration for Fusḥā, but they seem to have a very proud pride in ʕāmmiya. Considering the linguistic situation of the Arabic community dominated by diglossia, the research on ʕāmmiya is as important as Fusḥā. In this study, Iraq Arabic was set as a subject among the contemporary Arabic dialects. Iraq was the foothold Abassiyya dynasty(AD750~1288) which was the golden age of the Arab and Islamic empire and the center of the Arab and Islamic culture. Iraq was a collective of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean culture in the middle ages. Thus, Iraq has provided the best environment for studying the change of the language by the external factors and linguistic layers deposited by age.The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of non verbal factors(history and social factors etc.) on the variation of the spoken Arabic language and it’s development through contemporary Iraqi Arabic. And also I research the changed form of the spoken Arabic and it’s language identity.
