Palestine, an Arab country, was part of the Aramaic civilization as well as Canaanites who lived in Palestine for thousands of years. Canaanites remained up to the arrival of the Arab conquerors from the Arabian Peninsula. After that People converted into Islam and learned the Arabic language as it became the official language. Even though Arabic was the official language since that period, Aramaic language remained. Many of the recently used colloquial words aren’t Arabic in their origins and their roots can be found in Aramaic dictionaries. Aramaic language is present up to the day in the recent Palestinian dialects. This study sheds lights on a very interesting topic and points to the origins of the recent Palestinian dialects. The study also justifies the presence of non- Arabic words in the recent Palestinian dialects. While, most scholars focus on the phonetics side of Arabian dialects, this study focuses on the origins of the recent dialects. One of the main results the research comes up with is that Aramaic civilization didn’t disappear completely. Their culture and language remained in Palestine especially in the Palestinian dialects. The mixture in the recent spoken dialects is a result of civilizations’ diversity in the past.
