Abstract
Arabkhaneh, a rural destrict of Nehbandan and located in South Khorasan, is among the first residence of the Arabs immigrated to Iran. Due to the distance from its actual source and adjacency with Iranian culture, the language of this region is considerably influenced by Farsi. This impact takes place on four levels: syntactic, phoneme, phonetic and semantic, with the most impact on phoneme (structure). In this article, the authors compare the structure of interrogative sentences in standard Farsi with standard Arabic. The field data has been gathered from Khosroabad Arabkhaneh village and then analyzed and compared using typology approaches and frameworks. The results showed resemblance in the order of the elements of an interrogative sentences and words and relocation of them. Nonetheless, since the interrogative sentences in Farsi, Arabkhaneh dialect  and standard Arabic have some resemblance, it could not be hypothesized that the number of interrogatives in Arabkhaneh dialect has been influenced by Farsi.
