Hello,
The goal of this topic is to have perception of Tunisia Arabic from the point of view of other Arabic speakers from North Africa, Egypt, Levant countries and Gulf countries.
Among North African dialects, it is said to be the closest to al fush7a. Some Moroccans said that Tunisian speak like Egyptian because of the accent.
Gulf people say that Tunisian or North African don't speak Arabic but gibberish, and not understandable from other Arabic speakers.
Is it true? Tunisian Arabic has lot of borrowings from French, Italian, Turkish and Berber but it remains an Arabic dialect.
What is your level of understanding when you watch a video of 2 Tunisian talking to each other for example. I found lot of similitude with Egyptian, Levant or Gulf Arabic
Thanks
