Classical Arabic | Classical Arabic and Egyptian Arabic are the same as in our timeline. Arabic is not spoken in our Maghreb, but ''is'' spoken in Turkey (with lots of Turkic and Irish loans). | ||
There are heavily Irish-influenced Arabic dialects spoken in Anatolia and Canada's Irish-speaking regions. For example, 'I like X' can be something like dZei:d ma3i X (where dZei:d doesn't inflect) in these dialects, a calque of Irish ''is maith liom X''. Irish-sounding verbal noun constructions like "ina fi qråtuh" = 'I'm reading it' (lit. "I am in its reading", like ''Táim á léamh'') are also common. (Arabic could grammaticalize VNs this way since they haven't already grammaticalized as they have in Hebrew) | There are heavily Irish-influenced Arabic dialects spoken in Anatolia and Canada's Irish-speaking regions.
