Judeo-Arabic and the Language of Baghdadi Jews
Hosted By: Qesher
Qesher presents a talk beginning with the wider world of Jewish languages and turning to Judeo-Baghdadi Arabic as a case study, offering a window into the history, culture, and everyday life of one of the Middle East’s oldest Jewish communities. Through stories and sayings, the session shows how a language can preserve memory, identity, and traces of the past long after a community has been dispersed. The talk explores what made Judeo-Baghdadi distinctive, how it differed from the Arabic spoken by other communities in Baghdad, and what it reveals about the history of Iraqi Jews.
