    Default Lebanese Bedouin vs Khaleej

    I have a hard time distinguishing these two dialects since they both use the qaaf and have similar words like leysh and keef/kayf. What are other ways to tell the difference between these two? It may be obvious in talking but I find hard when trying to find out the difference when they are being sung

    Thanks!!

    maybe its hard to tell the difference only by sticking on two words / it doesn't always work.
    to tell the difference between two dialects there is another words and sometimes sentences
    and even the way of spelling same word

    anyway in these words ...(kayf -keef / leh - laysh)

    kayf is the way how khaleeji people spell keef
    lebanese say keef

    leh = why lebanese dialcet
    laysh = khaleeji for why

    that sh is common in khaleeji more than Lebanese or Syrian

    hope it helps now
    good luck

    There are some Khalijians saying also "keef".
    But - "keef" is actually a good word.
    As far as I am concerned "shloon" is more frequently in use - is that so?

    And, I thought Lebanese makes "2" for "q" (or "q"), whereas Khaliji makes "g".
    And, if you are lucky, the Khaliji speaker has a rare dialect, in which djem is pronounced as "y", and/or kaf as "ch" and/or qaf=gaf is pronounced as "zh".

    ALSO, "th","dh","6'" are changed in Lebanese.
    E.g.
    "wethg" in Khaliji would be (I guess) "wet2" in Lebanese.

    I know the Lebanese dialect :P
    I am talking about the Bedouins there
    I heard the say the qaaf sound as g, just like Khaleejis, but they are not Khaleejis
    For example, I was told most of Dina Hayek's 1st album-Sehr El Gharam was in Lebanese Bedouin (cuz I thought it was Khaleeji)
    I guess shlon would be a good word to distinguish the sounds :P
    Do the Lebanese bedouin dialect use the DH, TH and 6 sounds like Khaleeji?
