Abstract

According to the Arabic dialectologists of the Arabic dialects, Arabic Varieties are based on hearings from Arabs and their tribes. These varieties are common among a group of people who uses them when talking to each other. It seems to me as a researcher that Many Arab grammarians are sensitive to talk about these varieties and ignore them. They also look in them with a suspicious view. They do talk about it on their books but they believe that Arabic speaker should not use them. In addition, they literary say “According to that variety or this variety” They suffice mentioning that. I wanted to investigate that issue to come up with a solution or a decision. With Allah’s help, His Mighty, I came up with this piece of research. Here it is before your hands.

I concluded that Arabic varieties are considered Standard Arabic if they are reported to be spoken by Arabs’ tribes. Arabic

grammarians can rely on them and use them for verifying grammatical issues in Arabic language. I supported my claim with who seem to be in the same line with my results. I followed Ibn Jana research methodologies and to the practice of Arabic grammarians and their strong support and acceptance to some Arabic varieties.
