However, the borrowing from any donor language have to undergo certain processes to make them fit appropriately into the recipient language. This study also deals with the borrowing English words that has penetrated the Iraqi Arabic Language during the past few decades. The process of borrowing from English language took place indirectly due to trade, education, etc., and this brings new words to Arabic Language.
