Mardin dialect is mutually intelligible with Moslawi dialect in Iraq. However, the peripheral varieties in Siirt, Muş and Batman provinces near Lake Van are quite divergent.
Mesopotamian Arabic is spoken to the west, by about 100,000 people in Sanliurfa Province, as well as North Levantine Arabic with over a million speakers in Adana, Hatay and Mersin provinces.
