Modern Palestinian Judeo-Arabic is a variety of Palestinian Arabic that was spoken by the Old Yishuv in Ottoman Palestine , and currently by some Israeli Jews in Israel.
As Jews from Morocco established a community in the Galilee and around Jerusalem, their dialect of Maghrebi Judeo-Arabic mixed with Palestinian Arabic. It peaked at 10,000 speakers and thrived alongside Yiddish until the 20th century. But today it is nearly extinct with only 5 speakers remaining in the Galilee.[1] It would begin to decline due to the revival of Hebrew as Hebrew became the dominant language of the Yishuv before the establishment of the State of Israel. Modern Judeo-Palestinian Arabic contains influence from Judeo-Moroccan Arabic, Judeo-Lebanese Arabic, and Judeo-Syrian Arabic.[2]
