The Arab states of the Persian Gulf are the seven Arab states which border the Persian Gulf, namely Kuwait, Bahrain, Iraq, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). All of these nations (with the exception of Iraq) are part of the Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf. Geographically, the Arabic-speaking Gulf is solely Eastern Arabia.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=History of eastern Arabia, 1750-1800: the rise and development of Bahrain and Kuwait )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Labor, Nationalism and Imperialism in Eastern Arabia: Britain, the Shaikhs and the Gulf Oil Workers in Bahrain, Kuwait and Qatar, 1932-1956 )〕 The borders of the Persian Gulf do not extend beyond Eastern Arabia.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Eastern Arabia Historic Photographs: Kuwait, 1900-1936 )〕 Hejaz, Najd and South Arabia are not part of the Persian Gulf.〔 The Arabs of Eastern Arabia speak a dialect known as Gulf Arabic.
