Assalam alaikum.
I was wondering what the differences are between Egyptian and Gulf Arabic. Some differences I already know are that in the Egyptian spoken language, the "Q" sound is dropped out of many words, and instead of using the definite article "al", they say "il". This makes "the supermarket" into "is-soo'" rather than "al-sooq".
Also, are the sentence structures the same between the two types?
For example, question words (eg, where) are added at the end of the sentence ("il-bank fein"). Is that the same in gulf arabic where "ayna" is used ("al-bank ayna" ??).
In addition to that, I was wondering what the differences are between the spoken version and the Modern Standard Arabic that is used in newspapers and so on.
