WHAT DOES THE GULF STATES MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Arab states of the Persian Gulf

"Arab states of the Persian Gulf" or "Gulf Arab states" are terms that refer to the Arab states bordering the Persian Gulf, namely Kuwait, Bahrain, Iraq, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Most of these nations are part of the Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf. Geographically, the Arabic-speaking Gulf is solely Eastern Arabia. The borders of the Gulf do not extend beyond Eastern Arabia. Hejaz, Najd and South Arabia are not part of the Gulf. The Arabs of Eastern Arabia speak a dialect known as Gulf Arabic. Most Saudis do not speak Gulf Arabic because most Saudis do not live in Eastern Arabia. There are only 200,000 Gulf Arabic speakers in Saudi Arabia, mostly in the coastal eastern region.
