South Levantine Arabic

South Levantine Arabic was defined in the ISO 639-3 international standard for language codes as a distinct Arabic variety, under the ajp code. It was reported by Ethnologue as being spoken in the Southern Levant: Palestine, Israel, and most of Jordan.
In 2023, South Levantine Arabic and North Levantine Arabic were merged into a single Levantine Arabic in the ISO, based on the high mutual intelligibility between Arabic varieties spoken by sedentary populations across the Levant and the lack of clear distinctions between variants along national borders.
