Bareqi Arabic (Arabic: لهجة بارقية) is one of the five major varieties of Arabic spoken in Saudi Arabia. It is spoken in many towns and villages in and around Bareq.

Characteristics

Bareqi Arabic has many aspects that differentiate it from all other dialects in the Arab world. Phonologically, Bareqi Arabic is similar to the majority of Saudi Arabia dialects and Himyaritic language. All Bareqi dialects also share the unusual feature of replacing the definite article al- with the prefix am-. The dialects of many towns and villages in the wadi and the coastal region are characterized by having changed ج (//) to a palatal approximant ي [j] (called // yodization).
