This study explores the use of the letter "Shin" (ش / ש) in Iraqi Arabic and Israeli Hebrew colloquial speech, with a particular focus on its phonetic and semantic distinctiveness in both languages. The letter "Shin" is characterised by a unique sound that captures attention and plays a significant role in expressing a wide range of meanings. The study aims to analyse the morphological, syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic functions that this letter fulfills across different linguistic contexts. The findings suggest that the use of "Shin" as both a prefix and a suffix can be attributed to cross-linguistic borrowing and contact-induced influences, despite its deep-rooted Semitic origins in Iraqi Arabic and its historical embedding in colloquial Hebrew. This phenomenon appears to reflect processes of phonological reduction and specific language-internal developments.
