- Baharna Arabic also known as Baharnah and Bahrani Arabic) is a variety of Arabic spoken by the Bahranis of Bahrain and some parts of Saudi Eastern Province, and also in Oman. In Bahrain, the dialect is spoken in the capital, Manama, and in Bahrani villages. Others speak a Gulf dialect which is more similar to those spoken in Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates. In Saudi Arabia, Qatif and neighbouring towns and villages are the main center of the dialect. These are distinct from the dialects of Al-Hasa, the other major population center in the Eastern Province. The differences between Bahrani Arabic and neighboring dialects suggest differing historical origins. Most of the others in the region are relatively recent immigrants, many of them originally Bedouin Najdi tribes. Those now speak Gulf dialects which are very distinct from Najdi and Bedouin dialects, and which are much more similar to the Bahrani dialects. In Bahrain, the main differences between Bahrani speech and others' speech are evident certain grammatical forms and especially pronunciation and accent. Most of the vocabulary, however, is shared between both dialects and distinctly Bahraini, arising from a shared modern history. Many Bahrani words were borrowed from Hindi or English.
