Pre-Hilalian Hilalian dialects comparaison?

Question

What are the main differences between Pre-Hilalian Tunisian dialects ( or any other Maghrebi dialects ) and the Hilalian ones ( Pronunciation , vocabulary ... ) . Let’s take the dialect I speak as an exemple : The /q/ is maintained , “Enti” (you) is used for both male and female , interdentals are maintained , no diphthongs ( “lil” for night , although my grandma , whose from Bizerte , says “leyl” with the diphthongs maintained) , there are many worlds of latin origin : kayyes ( trig/triq in other dialects , from the latin word callis ) , qattus ( cat ) , kurda ( rope ) , karrusa ( carriage from latin carrus ) , kalsita ( sock from latin calcia ) ...

Answer 1

The Arabic spoken in the north African region is very different from the Arabic spoken in the middle east. Mainly because the area have been colonized by several ancient civilization. Yes, I agree. There are words influenced/derived from Spanish, French, Turkish, Amazigh and even Italian. Middle eastern Arabs always have hard time understanding those regions. The Dialect also changes throughout the cities and different parts of the region.

I always suggest to learn the formal Arabic because most Arab speaker had to learn the formal Arabic somehow, which means they can understand you and respond to you. This rule also applies to all the other languages(in my opinion). Like Spanish for example has different dialects and sometimes it changes drastically when you are in south America but you are still going to be understood if you use the formal one. Best of luck
