  • Velar fricatives /x, ɣ/ can be heard as uvular sounds [χ, ʁ], in the Muscat dialect.
  • /k, ɡ/ can also be heard as palatalized sounds [kʲ, ɡʲ] among the Muscat dialect.
  • [ɫ] can be heard as an allophone of /l/, but is rarely phonemic.[2]
  • As for most [Omani] dialects, Standard Arabic [d͡ʒ] is replaced with the velar stop /g/ ج, while [d͡ʒ] is available in some Omani dialects, mainly Bedouin.[3]
  • The speakers of Muscat, Salalah and some Batina varieties (e.g. the center of Sohar city), as well as other sedentary dialect speakers, pronounce /q/ ق as [q], while the Bedouin dialect speakers pronounce /q/ as [g].[4] and this variable /q/ has been a hallmark for distinguishing Bedouin and Hadari (urban) Arabs for centuries.[5]

  • /a/ can be heard as [æ] when preceding /j/ or any non-emphatic consonant. It is heard as back [ɑ] after emphatic sounds, and can then be heard as [ʌ] when shortened. Its long equivalent /aː/, is heard as [ɑː] after emphatic sounds.[6]
  • /i/ can be heard as [ɪ] in medial position and as [ɨ] in shortened positions.
  • Sounds /u, uː/ are often realized as near-close back sounds [ʊ, ʊː]. /u/ can sometimes be heard as [ɔ] or [o] after emphatics.
