It is a combination of different varieties of the Persian language and Achomi language that has been spoken in Kuwait for more than 300 years. Kuwaiti Persian is used among Ajam Kuwaitis.Besides English, French is taught as a third language for the students of the humanities at schools, but for two years only.English is widely understood and often used as a business language.
Due to immigration during its pre-oil history as well as trade, Kuwaiti Arabic borrowed a lot of words from Persian, Indian languages, Balochi language, Turkish, English and Italian.Prior to that, prefixes and suffixes were added to a person’s name to reflect the family’s place of origin and location. However, Persians started using surnames in 1919. Kuwaiti Arabic is a variant of Gulf Arabic, sharing similarities with the dialects of neighboring coastal areas in Eastern Arabia. Therefore, all Iranian last names have either Persian, Arabic, or Turkish origins.
