Judeo-Iraqi Arabic
Judeo-Iraqi Arabic (Arabic: عربية يهودية عراقية, romanized: ʻArabīyah Yahūdīyah ʻIrāqīyah, Hebrew: ערבית-יהודית עיראקית, romanized: ʻAravit Yehudit ʻIraqit), also known as Iraqi Judeo-Arabic and Yahudic, is a variety of Arabic spoken by Iraqi Jews.
The language originated among Jews living in various regions of Iraq. With the migration of Iraqi Jews to other countries, the language spread to those new locations, mainly Israel, the US, the UK, Canada and Australia.
In Israel, the language was widely used among Jews who emigrated from Iraq, and to this day, many Israelis, including those whose parents emigrated from Iraq, continue to use it.
The language was also used in the Baghdadi community in India and other communities of Jewish Iraqi immigrants in the far east.
In 1992, there were 120 Judeo-Iraqi Arabic speakers remaining in Iraq. In 2018, there were 94,000 speakers of the language in Israel. The best known variety is Baghdadi Judeo-Arabic, although other dialects were spoken in Mosul and elsewhere.
The vast majority of Iraqi Jews have relocated to Israel and switched to Modern Hebrew as their first language.
The 2014 film Farewell Baghdad is mostly in the Baghdad dialect. It was the first movie filmed in Baghdadi Judeo-Arabic.
The language is being taught at the Oxford School of Rare Jewish Languages, by Dr Assaf Bar Moshe, whose family emigrated to Israel from Iraq and who speaks it as his mother tongue . His textbook Baghdadi Judeo-Arabic, an introductory text is available as an open source textbook .
