This study describes the phonological norms of Arabic with respect to gender and national identity in modern Jordan, a small kingdom located in the Middle East. Jordan is populated by a native Jordanian community with historically rural roots and a Palestinian community who first arrived in the 1940s, both of which speak different but related varieties of Levantine Arabic. The extended period of language contact between them has resulted in changes to the speech of both communities. This paper examines how that change is manifested in isolation and in various social contexts among Jordanian men and women and Palestinian men and women in four specific areas: (i) the various realizations of MSA q ; (ii) the fortition of &thetas; and ð; (iii) the merger of the emphatic coronals d and ð into either the stop or the fricative form; and (iv) the raising of the feminine marker -at to -e. I take a historical approach that attempts to place the Arabic found in Jordan within the proper context. I provide a detailed overview of the known historical record of sound change for each of the six sounds as well as detailing the challenges that scholars face in determining how these changes took place. Additionally, I provide an overview of the modern history of the Arabic dialect of Jordan's capital city Amman, where most Palestinians live, and how it emerged within the wider social and political culture. My data was collected from 28 individuals who were interviewed and asked to provide their answers in their native dialect of Arabic. The interviews were divided into three parts: an open-ended question, a translation exercise, and self-reported judgments of their personal dialect in specific social situations. I find that, for the most part, Jordanian men and Palestinian women are the most conservative with respect to their heritage dialects, and that Jordanian women and Palestinian men are the main innovators. I also find that these changes are not consistent with each other. For instance, the changes that have taken place in -at are much more drastic than the changes to q. The overall results show that Jordan is in the midst of a significant sound change process that extends beyond just the capital of Amman.
