We will first address the intricate question of the classification of Bedouin dialects through the review of classical and modern approaches. Afterwards we will analyze more in deep some key phonological, morphological and syntactic traits of Bedouin varieties spoken in North Arabia and Jordan and eventually, we will focus on two case studies from Jordan.
The transcription, translation, and grammatical analysis of two samples of Bedouin speech will enable the familiarization and a further understanding of this variety of Arabic.
