Jordan is surrounded by Syria, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Palestine and Israel. It borders the Red Sea and takes its name from the Jordan River that flows through its territory. The official name of the state is al-Memleketu’l-Urduniyyetu’l-Haşimiyye, and it is a Middle Eastern country with a width of 89,213 km. The capital of the country is Amman, and its other important cities include Zarqa, Irbid, Ajloun, Mafraq Bela, Madâbâ, Karak, Jerash Tafilah, Ma’ân and Aqaba. Jordan, referred to as Palaestina Secunda in Byzantine sources, means the place on both sides of the river in Arabic. The Jordanian dialect, which is included in the northern dialect group of Arabic dialects, is the dialect spoken by the Jordanians living in the Hashemite State of Jordan and differs according to the regions in the country. The Jordanian dialect is divided into the Northern and Southern dialects, as well as the Fellah dialect and the Bedouin dialect. However, the dialect spoken by most Jordanians is Hajina, which emerged during the Ottoman state administration in the early twentieth century. In addition, the Jordanian dialect is divided into five parts: the Hajina dialect, which is a mixture of Palestinian, Jordanian, and Damascus dialects spoken in the capital city Amman and in the northern cities of Zarqa Madabâ, and Salt, and spoken by the whole country; the Southern dialect spoken in the cities of Karak, Tafilah, Ma’an and, Shôbek, known for not reading the feminine ‘te’ at the end of the names; the Bedouin dialect spoken by the Bedouins, which is not preferred to be spoken by the cultured and civilized parts of Jordan, is a mixture of Egyptian and Hejâz dialects; the Akbâvî dialect used by a narrow group; and the Northern dialect spoken in the cities of Kura, Irbid, Ajloun, Jerash, and Ramsâ.

In this study, the phonetic, morphological, and grammatical changes of the Jordanian dialect, which differs from Quranic Arabic (Classical Arabic), are explained with examples, and local words and phrases are included. For example: In the Jordanian dialect, the interrogative prepositions used in standard Arabic undergo sound changes. In this context, the prepositions used in Quran Arabic and their equivalents in the Jordanian dialect can be listed as follows: the prepositions “ماذا ،ما “are used as“أش ،إيش ،شو ْ“ , the preposition “كمَ “ is used asيشْدْ َ the ,»”ق preposition “بكم “is used as“يشَّْدَ ِق ب“, the preposition “من “is used as“مين“, the preposition “منَ لِ “ is used as“مينَ ل“, the preposition “أين “is used as“ينْوَ“, the prepositions “أين من “used as “مين وْي َ ن، عَو ْي as used is” إلى أين” preposition the ,”َوْين َ ل“, the preposition “لماذاِ “is used as “يشْ َ the ,”ل preposition “كيف “is used as “كيفِ“ , the preposition “متى “is used as “إيمتى“, the preposition “أي “is used as “وُّ ُّو” as used is ” ِم ّ ن أي” preposition the ,”إن إن مينِ“ , and the preposition “هل “is no longer used because it is expressed with emphasis.

Secondly, the pronoun أنا is pronounced as it is without any change, while the other pronouns are pronounced with a sound change. For example, the pronoun “نحن “is pronounced as “حناِ ,“إ the pronouns “أنتما “and “مُ أنت “are pronounced as “إنتوْ“ , the pronoun “أنت َ “ is pronounced as “تَ إنْ“ , the pronoun “أنت ِ “ is pronounced as “إنتي ، ْ تِ إنْ“ , the pronoun “هو “is pronounced as “هوَّ“ , the pronouns “هماُ “ and “همُ “ are pronounced as “مَّ هُ“ , the pronoun “هي “is pronounced as “هيّ“ , and the pronouns “هماُ “ and “نَّ هُ “ are pronounced as “نّ ه ، ِ مَّ هُ“ . In addition, the use of dual and musenna is not common in the Jordanian dialect, and plural pronouns are preferred instead of these pronouns. Thirdly, the negation of noun phrases is made by putting the negation suffixes “مشِ “ and “موُ “ before the noun. Accordingly, the usage of “مشكلة مو ،مشكلة ُ شْ مِ “ is the equivalent of the sentence “مشكلة ليست “in Quranic Arabic. Fourthly, in the Jordanian dialect, there are usages of “فيش ،يش ْ ِ ِ ْش، ما ف ف ،في ما ،في “corresponding to the meanings of yes and no. For ِ ْش ُ ع ّ ذر لهادا التصرف ,” :example ِ ْش مشكلة في ِ ْش داعي يا رجل ، ما في .“ في هواء كتيرحلو اليوم ، ما في مصاري ، ف The sentences mean “The weather is very nice, there is no money, it is none of your business, it’s okay, there is no excuse for these behaviors” in English, respectively.
