Jordanian Arabic is a dialect continuum of mutually intelligible varieties of Arabic spoken in Jordan.

Jordanian Arabic can be divided into sedentary and Bedouin varieties.[2] Sedentary varieties belong to the Levantine Arabic dialect continuum. Bedouin varieties are further divided into two groups, Northwest Arabian Arabic varieties of the south,[3] and Najdi Arabic and Shawi Arabic[4] varieties of the north.[2] Jordan Arabic incorporates vocabulary and expressions influenced by neighboring dialects, including those from Palestine, Syria, and Iraq.[5]

Arabic is a member of the Semitic language family. Jordanian Arabic varieties are spoken by more than 8.5 million people, and understood throughout the Levant and, to various extents, in other Arabic-speaking regions. As in all Arab countries, language use in Jordan is characterized by diglossia; Modern Standard Arabic is the official language used in most written documents and the media, while daily conversation is conducted in the local colloquial varieties.[6]
