rs use the word gaaed ma jaashinstead. Eastern CLA speakers use wajed or yasser for ‘much', but the western CLA speakers say helbba. Moreover, the eastern colloquial speakers say hamu for ‘hot, but the western speakers say innou.

In addition, CLA in both regions is also phonologically different. The western CLA speakers find it difficult to pronounce the consonant /θ/, instead they pronounce it as /t/, and pronounce /j / as /d/, whereas the eastern CLA speakers do not, i.e. they pronounce them as they are pronounced in the classical standard Arabic. For example, thalatha‘three' and thahab ‘gold, they are pronounced talata and dahabinstead.

Nevertheless, there are some lexical terms in one of the two regions CLA that give different meanings in the other region CLA, and this might be problematic, too. For example, taawa means ‘frying pot' in the eastern CLA, but means ‘special bucket used for washing hands before and after eating' in the western CLA, and iyyali means ‘my children' in the eastern colloquial, but ‘my wife' in the western colloquial and so on.

During the first half of the twentieth century, the Italians ruled Libya. Italian was the language of instruction in schools during that time, but only a scattering of Libyan children and adults have attended schools. As a consequence, formally, the Italian language did not take root in Libya to the extent that French, for example, did in the neighbouring countries of North Africa such as Algeria and Morocco. However, informally, the Libyan dialect preserves a lot of words that are borrowed from the Italian. Those words are usually used in daily casual interaction of Libyan people.

Table 1 shows some of the Italian lexical terms which are used in the Libyan CLA. The old generation who lived in the period of the Italian colonization, of course, knows that these terms are Italian. However, the young generation does not know that they are Italian in origin and use them as if they are CLA. Some of these terms do not even have an equivalent in CLA; in other words, they are new to the Libyan colloquial, for example, all vehicle parts, fernello ‘hot plate', and marshabedi ‘pavement'.

Having described the diglossic situation in Arabic, it seems clear that Arabic mainly has two different forms used in different domains, classical/modern standard and colloquial Arabic. However, colloquial Arabic is very much spread in various contexts within the Arab region, and Arabs are deemed to be native speakers of non- standard Arabic, whereas standard Arabic is formally and prestigiously used in some restricted domains like media and religion.

In addition, the Arabic region is a very big area with hundreds of different dialects, which I think have not yet been studied from the point of view of diglossia by researchers and scholars. Moreover, Arabic dialects sometimes are completely different and therefore difficult to understand, especially those, which are very far from each other. In other words, the more distance between them, the more different they are.

However, I think standard Arabic will remain forever, and will not be changed since it is the language of the Qur'an, which is used daily by Arab people in their daily prayers and religious sermons. Moreover, the five levels本论文由英语论文网提供整理，提供论文代写，英语论文代写，代写论文，代写英语论文，代写留学生论文，代写英文论文，留学生论文代写相关核心关键词搜索。
