Abstract

There is a deep-rooted linguistic relationship between Turkish and Arabic, and it is known that the Arabic language influenced the Turkish language, and although the influence of the Turkish language was not as much as the Arabic language, it affected the Arabic dialects, especially the Mosulli dialect, and the influence of the Turkish language on the Mosulli dialect is more of Iraqi or other Arabic dialects. This effect appears in many names, titles, adjectives, village names, and popular proverbs used by Mosulli people. In this study, which focuses on the influence of the Turkish language on the Mosulli dialect, data is collected by identifying Turkish words from dictionaries, different language books, proverbs, terminology, and studies published in Iraq and Turkey. In addition, in order to identify the Turkish words used in the Mosulli dialect, various interviews are conducted with elderly people living in Mosul who speak this dialect. This study concludes with the various forms of Turkish influence on the Mosulli dialect, and among the most important forms of this influence are: the entry of Turkish words into the Mosul dialect while preserving their meaning, the Turkish words that entered with the same pronunciation and difference in meaning, some suffixes that entered the dialect with the same meaning, and many Turkish words used by Mosulli people in their proverbs and many Turkish proverbs.
