<![CDATA[Arabic is a Semitic language with a complex phonetic system, with a number of distinctive phonemes such as pharyngeal, glottal, and emphatic consonants that are not commonly found in non-Semitic languages. These phonetic uniqueness poses significant challenges for speakers of other languages, particularly in the context of learning Arabic as a second language (L2). Phonetic interference from the first language (L1) often hinders the accurate acquisition of Arabic phonemes, thus impacting communication clarity and potential changes in meaning, especially in religious contexts such as Quran recitation. This study uses a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach to identify and analyze 21 articles discussing the phenomenon of Arabic phonetic interference in other languages. The results show that phonetic difficulties are primarily caused by the lack of phoneme equivalents in the mother tongue, and are influenced by variations in Arabic dialects that complicate the learning process and the development of linguistic technology. Adaptive and technology-based learning strategies are recommended to improve pronunciation accuracy. Furthermore, the study of phonetics has broad implications in the fields of education, translation, cultural documentation, and the development of language learning applications. This research contributes to the development of a more inclusive Arabic language curriculum and opens up space for interdisciplinary collaboration between linguistics, pedagogy, and technology.]]>
