Classical Arabic is the same as in our timeline. Arabic is not spoken in our Maghreb, but ''is'' spoken in Turkey (with lots of Turkic loans).

There are heavily Irish-influenced Arabic dialects spoken in 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 bi qråtuh" = 'I'm reading it' (lit. "I am at its reading") may also be used. (Arabic could grammaticalize VNs this way since they haven't already grammaticalized as they have in Hebrew)
