Lebanese or Lebanese Arabic is the variety of Levantine Arabic spoken mainly in Lebanon though some consider Lebanese a language in its own right. Lebanese dialect shares 80% of its vocabulary with Syrian Arabic, and about 75% with Jordanian and Palestinian Arabic dialects. French, Turkic, English and Persian loanwords make less than 20%, but Aramaic loanwords make up to 40%. Many Lebanese usually mix French, English, Italian, and Russian to some extent into their Lebanese dialect for example, talfinli for call me or telephone me and fraize instead of the arabic farawila for the word strawberry or fraise in French.
