I'm looking at possibly taking up persian sometime in the next year or so. Because of my situation I ended up learning MSA and Iraqi arabic pretty much alongside one another, when I first started studying Arabic. In some ways my Iraqi is probably better than my MSA even still.
I understand that Persian has an immense number of arabic loanwords (I've heard some people say 50% of all persian words come from Arabic). So I understand that a knowledge of any arabic would help with persian, but I want to know if my knowledge of Iraqi Arabic will provide me with a further advantage. I've heard that Iraqi Arabic has some turkish influence but I'd like to know what (if any) persian influence there is on Iraqi Arabic. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Well, Iraqi Arabic has the "ch" sound as in cheese. This is, I think, unusual among colloquial Arabic dialects, unknown in the Standard Arabic, but a common sound in Persian.
