There are three distinct dialects used in Baghdad, which consist of Muslim, Jewish and Christian Baghdadi Arabic. Muslim Baghdadi Arabic "belongs to a group called gilit dialects, while Jewish Baghdadi, as well as Christian Baghdadi, belongs to qultu dialects" (Verteegh).
Until the 1950s, Baghdad Arabic contained many borrowings from other languages, including Turkish, Kurdish, Persian, and English. Today, the Baghdadi gilit Arabic is considered the standard dialect of Arabic spoken in Baghdad. This dialect is of "Bedouin provenance, unlike Christian and Jewish Baghdadi, which is believed to be descendant of Medieval Iraqi Arabic" (Verteegh).
