Judo-persian LanguagesThe Judo-Persian languages include a number of related languages spoken throughout the formerly extensive realm of the Persian Empire, sometimes including all the Jewish Indo-Iranian languages: These languages have developed in relative isolation, in some cases for over 2,500 years, to the extent that several of them are considered to be completely independent, notably, Juhuri and Bukhori. Regardless, they have a number of shared features, notably their origin in ancient dialects of Persian and related languages, as well as nearly simultaneous communal development. Like most Jewish languages, all the Judo-Persian languages contain great numbers of Hebrew loanwords, and are written using variations of the Hebrew alphabet. See also References
