Judeo-Yemenite
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Judeo-Yemenite language is the form of Judeo-Arabic spoken by Yemenite Jews. The language is now spoken by some 51,000 Jews, all but 1,000 of whom live in Israel, with the remaining thousand still living in Yemen. The language was quite different from the non-Jewish Arabic spoken in Yemen. The langauge may be split into the subdialects of San`a, `Aden, Be:da, and Habban. It is written, like most Jewish languages, with the Hebrew script.
