North Levantine Arabic

Etymology

From Italian pomodoro. Pronunciations with ū may have been transmitted through coastal dialects that had not yet developed a monophthong /oː/, while pronunciations with ō may be via coastal dialects that had already monophthongized /aw/ into an /oː/ that they could loan the Italian vowel with. Compare the North and South Levantine pronunciations of أوضة (ʔūḍa, ʔōḍa, room).
