Gulf Pidgin Arabic

Gulf Pidgin Arabic is an Arabic-based pidgin which is primarily used by migrant workers in the Arab states of the Persian Gulf. The variety was first published on in 1990, with the author reporting that the variety existed as early as the 1960s.[1] As with other pidgins, Gulf Pidgin Arabic does not have a standard form and will vary in features and vocabulary between communities.[2]
