Arabic semanticists and dialects scholars have paid considerable attention to Qiraat (the plural noun of Qiraah i.e. reading or recitation of the Holy Qur’an) and they often cite examples of irregular Quranic Qiraat in their rules and reasoning. However, many Qur’anic scholars may not be adequately aware of the significant impact of Quranic Qiraat on semantics as well as their role in preserving dialects of the Arab tribes. This paper aims to show the impact of irregular Qiraat on Arabic lexical semantics and Arabic dialects by tracking some examples of irregular Qiraat and examining how they preserved the Arabic dialects. The research adopted the analytical method in tracking the lexical features in irregular Qiraat and identifying the semantic differences between such lexical items in different Qiraat on the one hand and cite some examples from Qiraat that enriches meaning on the other. The findings indicate that irregular Qiraat are fundamental for standardizing linguistic rules. It is also found that irregular Qiraat has corroborated with several Arabic dialects and that is why Qiraat were in line with the Arab dialects during the era of Prophet Mohammed.
