Judeo-Iraqi Arabic
Judeo-Iraqi Arabic (Arabic: عربية يهودية عراقية, romanized: ʻArabīyah Yahūdīyah ʻIrāqīyah), also known as Iraqi Judeo-Arabic and Yahudic, is a variety of Arabic spoken by Iraqi Jews currently or formerly living in Iraq. It is estimated that there are 94,000 speakers in Israel (as of 2018)[1] and that just 120 older speakers remain in Iraq (as of 1992).[1] The best known variety is Baghdad Jewish Arabic, although there were different dialects in Mosul and elsewhere.
