Mizrahi Hebrew language

Encyclopedia : M : MI : MIZ : Mizrahi Hebrew language

The Mizrahi Hebrew language or Oriental Hebrew language refers to any one of the dialects of Biblical Hebrew used liturgically by Mizrahi Jews, that is, Jews living in Arab countries or further east, and typically speaking Arabic, Persian, Hindi, Turkish, or other languages of the Middle East and Asia. As such, Mizrahi Hebrew is actually a blanket term for many dialects.

Sephardi Hebrew is not considered one of these, although it has been spoken in the Middle East and North Africa. The Sephardim were expellees from Spain, and settled among the Mizrahim.
