Mediterranean culture
The Eastern Mediterranean peoples are tied together not only by virtue of geographic position, but by Mediterranean ethnicity, food, customs, traditions and language. The Syrian, Lebanese, Palestinian, and Jordanian peoples speak Mediterranean Arabic also called Levantine Arabic. Mediterranean colloquial Arabic is distinct from the other Arabic vernaculars, in that it is saturated with Aramaic or Syriac words and names. Another example of Mediterranean heritage in language, is the use of the Phoenician months by all Eastern Mediterranean peoples including Israelis.
