History
In 1992, there were 120 Judeo-Iraqi Arabic speakers remaining in Iraq.[1] In 2018, there were 94,000 speakers of the language in Israel.[1] The best known variety is Baghdad Jewish Arabic, although other dialects were spoken in Mosul and elsewhere.
The vast majority of Iraqi Jews have relocated to Israel and switched to Modern Hebrew as their first language.
The 2014 film Farewell Baghdad is mostly in Baghdad Jewish Arabic. It was the first movie filmed in Judeo-Iraqi Arabic.
