This article needs to clearly tell: does or does not each Arab country have it's own dialect of Judeo-Arabic? Each Arab country has it's own dialect of "regular" Arabic.
Is there an ethnic name for Judeo-Arabic speaking Jews? (along the lines of: Yiddish speaking Jews are Ashkenazim).
I think that's also the origine of Mozarab?Mozarabic (referring to the Arabized Romance language of the Christians of Muslim Spain as their speech was also Arabised, so even that term is slightly ambiguous. ممتاز 20:45, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
I linked to Jews of West Africa.
Is it not appropriate, for an article on Judeo-Arabic languages, to link with the sub-culture (Jews of West Africa) that would be speaking these languages. Is not this deletion an exercise of POV, and a violation of NPOV.
In sum, please give a rationale for the deletion. Dogru144 18:19, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
First of all, check the Ethnologue and you will see there are indeed regional variations of Judeo-Arabic. Secondly, Judeo-Arabic is a much older phenomenon. What is described here is only the modern stage of Judeo-Arabic, yet Judeo-Arabic was employed by the Jewish population of Egypt (see Shlomo Dov Goitein's "The Mediterranean Society") as early as the 10th century (see also the Geniza documents|, by the Jewish population of the Maghreb in 15th century and in print by Jews in Iraq. There is a growing body of work on the Judeo-Arabic language, the most important being Joshua Blau's "The Emergence and linguistic background of Judaeo-Arabic" (last edition 1999). My research bibliography includes over 200 monographs and 300 scholarly papers on the subject by such scholars as Haim Blanc, Joshua Blau, Benjamin Hary, Joshua Fishman and Otto Jastrow - to name but a few. There are also audio materials available on the Semarch semitic languages archive website. Gentlemen, please check your sources before contributing. I have been planning to write an entry on the Judeo-Arabic language for some time. Who should I coordinate my work with? Anybody who can help me, feel free to contact me. --Bulbul 23:18, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
Presumably there would (or rather may) have been an Arabic language of some sort spoken by the Jewish tribes in Arabia at the time prior to/at the start of Islam? Not exactly what the article seems to be about, but maybe a seconadry related one should be started on this (not by me though:})ممتاز 20:48, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

That's a severe mistake. I am a native alexandrian and our dialect is as far away from the Maghribi dialects as the Cairene one are. Perhaps in the past (1500-1600?) this was the case, but certainly not in our days. 93.160.123.238 (talk) 13:21, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
The sidebar says Arabic script but the image and the article state Hebrew script. I suspect the sidebar is wrong. — Hippietrail (talk) 13:03, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

Why is the term used in the article's title "languages" and not dialects?
The rest of the page correctly treats these so-called "languages" as dialects. The articles about the specific varieites call them varieties. They are very similar to other local varieties. None of the titles of the sources listed in this article and in the articles of the specific dialects call the dialects languages, they all use the terms variety or dialect.
Furthermore, the speakers of these dialects these days usually call them Arabic or (insert location) Arabic, or sometimes, and this is quite rare, Jewish or Jewish Arabic, and treat them as another dialect of Arabic.
I see absolutely no reason for the title to be different from all of the listed above. Eladabudi (talk) 08:17, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: page moved. Eladabudi (talk) 07:06, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
The request to rename this article to Judeo-Arabic dialects has been carried out. |
Judeo-Arabic languages → Judeo-Arabic dialects – Only the title of this particular page treats Judeo-Arabic dialects as languages. The rest of the article treats the subject as varieties/dialects. The articles on the specific varieties/dialects use the terms "variety" and "dialect", not "language". None of the titles of the cited sources in this page and in related pages (specific varieties) use the term language/s, they all treat them as dialects. Eladabudi (talk) 09:19, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
