It stems from the north in Turkey, specifically in the coastal regions of the Adana, Hatay, and Mersin provinces,[1][3] to Lebanon,[4][1] passing through the Mediterranean coastal regions of Syria (the Latakia and Tartus governorates) as well as the areas surrounding Aleppo and Damascus.[1][5]

With over 31 million speakers worldwide as of 2022,[1] North Levantine Arabic is used for daily speech mainly in Lebanon and Syria, while most of the written and official documents and media use Modern Standard Arabic.[6]
