What is Khaleeji (Gulf) Arabic?
Khaleeji Arabic is the family of Arabic dialects spoken in the Gulf states, including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain and Oman. It differs from Modern Standard Arabic in vocabulary and pronunciation.
What it means for your business
Many speech models are trained mostly on Modern Standard Arabic, so Gulf callers should be tested specifically. VYZR has tested Khaleeji Arabic on production calls.
