  Tunisian Arabic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tunisian Arabic is a Maghrebi dialect of the Arabic language.
Tunisian Arabic is therefore generally unintelligible to Middle Easterners, but quite easily understood by other Arabic-speaking North Africans such as Algerians and Moroccans.
In Tunisian the "giim", the "jiim" and the "qaf" are separate coexisting sounds, whereas in standard Arabic the "giim" doesn't exist, and in certain Middle Eastern dialects the "giim" replaces the "jiim", as in Egyptian Arabic, or replaces the "qaf", as in some Badawi (Bedouin) or Gulf dialects.

Tunisian officials have publicly argued that they had to declare the delay of the summit on the eve of the expected arrival of the heads of states due to insurmountable differences among foreign ministers in preparatory meetings running up to the summit.
The Tunisian decision, the statement said, is not at all related to the venue of the summit "and consequently, all attempts to change the venue are in fact attempts to confuse and ignore the real reasons leading to the decision to postpone the summit".
State-controlled Tunisian TV is constantly airing interviews with Tunisian officials and state-affiliated commentators to underline the official Tunisian argument that the delay was due to "major inter-Arab differences" related to reform in the Arab world.
