Abstract

This study explores the attitudes of Harbi speakers toward the Harbi Arabic dialect, a Bedouin dialect spoken in Saudi Arabia. Using a descriptive analysis approach, the research investigates how these speakers perceive their own dialect. The study employs a qualitative research design, with a sample of five females aged 20 to 27. The findings reveal that Harbi speakers are motivated to integrate into the social fabric of the Arras community, leading to convergence with other dialects. Overall, the results indicate positive attitudes of Harbi speakers toward their dialect. For future research, the researcher recommends expanding the sample to include male participants and broadening the scope to further validate the findings.
