Judo-Iranian languages

Judo-Iranian languages
The Judo-Iranian languages (or dialects) are a number of related Jewish variants of Iranian languages spoken throughout the formerly extensive realm of the Persian Empire. Judaeo-Iranian dialects are generally conservative in comparison with those of their Muslim neighbours. Judaeo-Shirazi, for example, remains close to the language of Hafiz. Like most Jewish languages, all the Geographic distribution of Iranian languages, including Judeo-Persian languages Judo-Iranian languages contain great numbers of Hebrew loanwords, and are written using variations of the Hebrew alphabet. Another name used for some Judaeo-Iranian dialects is Latorayi, sometimes interpreted by folk etymology as "not [the language] of the Torah". This refers to a form of the language in which the number of Hebrew and Aramaic loanwords is deliberately maximised to allow it to function as a secret code. In general, however, the number of such loanwords is small compared with that in other Jewish languages such as Yiddish or Judaeo-Spanish.
