Summary/Abstract: Classical Arabic has a sound system unique to this language that has not changed much over the centuries. This system, especially in the 7th century, started to become apparent and remained almost unchanged in the following periods. However, in the 7th century, Arabic, as a result of extensive migrations and human displacements, went beyond the borders of the Arabian Peninsula and reached the Mediterranean islands and southwestern European countries via North Africa. Therefore, Arabic, which various tribes spoke in different dialects at that time, was under the influence of Aramaic in Iraq, Syriac in Syria, Coptic in Egypt, and Berber in the Maghreb countries. As a result of interaction with these languages, Arabic entered a period of change in terms of spoken language and kept up with the modernization and the necessities of life. In the centuries following this period, Arabic was greatly influenced by the languages of other peoples with whom Arabs interacted, especially Turks and Persians. However, this interaction was experienced in colloquial language rather than classical Arabic and was effective in shaping Arabic dialects. The most important factor in this change process has been the more functional structure and rules of dialects, depending on the ease and speed of pronunciation. This feature of the dialects was mostly seen in the phonetic system, and the changes in the phonetic system showed itself in the vowels as well as in the consonants. Meanwhile, sounds such as (ç - g - j - o - ı) that are not in classical Arabic and Modern Standard Arabic are also used in various ways in Arabic dialects. It is seen that the consonant sounds peculiar to Arabic (ق - ظ - ض - ذ - ج - ث (can soften in Arabic dialects and turn into sounds important are there that understood is it ,Likewise .)ت ـ س / گ - ژ / ز - د / د / ز / ء) as such sound transformations in the general sound system of Arabic dialects in the context of vowel sounds. This situation can be seen in phrases with "med" in Arabic dialects; although there is no med (extension) in it in classical Arabic, it can also be seen in the form of umlaut. It is considered that these sound transformations can cause various pronunciation and perception problems for students who learn Arabic and whose mother tongue is not Arabic. In this study, the sounds that transform and change in Arabic dialects, particularly in Damascus and Cairo dialects, and the pronunciation and perception problems caused by this sound transformation for students who learn Arabic and whose mother tongue is not Arabic are emphasized.
