- The titular conflation of “Iraqi” with “Muslim Baghdadi” is emblematic of Western institutions reinforcing, rather than balancing, the existing power structures of national “dialects”; Jewish Baghdadi, Christian Baghdadi, Mosul Arabic, and North Mesopotamian Arabic all coexist with Muslim Baghdadi Arabic in a complex ecosystem, and Muslim Baghdadi Arabic is only privileged into the title “Iraqi Arabic” because of the accident of power.
