Personal pronouns are used to refer to people or things. They can be either singular or plural, and they can be either masculine or feminine. The following table shows the personal pronouns in Gulf Arabic: ย

ย 
== Object Pronouns ==
Object pronouns in Gulf Arabic replace the object of a sentence. They are similar to English object pronouns and include:
