Western Egyptian Bedawi Arabic, also known as Sahil Maryut Bedouin Arabic,[2][3] is a group of Bedouin Arabic dialects spoken in Western Egypt. They are spoken by the Awlad Ali tribe,[4] who settled in the edges of Lake Maryut and west of Bihera beginning in the 17th century from the region of Jabal Akhdar in Libya.[5] It is also spoken in Wadi El Natrun.[6] Their dialect is phonologically, morphophonemically and morphologically closer to the Peninsular Bedouin dialects than to the adjacent Egyptian dialects.[7]
Western Bedouin dialects influenced the dialects of southern Upper Egypt between Asyut and Idfu, and those of the Bahariyya Oasis and Bihera.[5]
Ethnologue and Glottolog classify Western Egyptian Bedawi Arabic as a Libyan Arabic dialect.[8][1]

Influence
Bihera
The pronunciation [ʒ] for ǧīm occurs in the west of the Bihera, were Awlad Ali settled. Metathesized forms such as mašzid “mosque” may be a result of the influence of their dialect.[9]
