| Abstract | ||
| Arabic is one of the languages that express a variety of dialects spoken everywhere in the world, not to speak about Arab homeland. This paper intends to affirm that a language must be studied in its social context and people can learn about themselves through learning their language. This paper demonstrates through analyzing some selected popular proverbs used in the Palestinian and the Baghdadi dialects, the expected differences between these two dialects i.e. the lexical differences and the overwhelming pronunciation differences. The distinguished conclusions reached by this paper are distributed in some areas like vocabulary, pronunciation, and culture. The significant difference between the two dialects is the borrowing of Persian words in the Baghdadi dialect at least in the proverbs under analysis. | ||
