Modern Palestinian Judeo-Arabic is a variety of Palestinian Arabic that was spoken by the Old Yishuv in Ottoman Palestine , and currently by some Israeli-Jews in Israel.
As Jews from Morocco established a community in the Galilee and around Jerusalem, their dialect of Maghrebi Judeo-Arabic mixed with Palestinian Arabic. It peaked at 10,000 speakers and thrived alongside Yiddish until the 20th century. But today it is nearly extinct with only 5 speakers remaining in the Galilee. It would begin to decline due to the revival of Hebrew as Hebrew became the dominant language of the Yishuv before the establishment of the State of Israel. Modern Judeo-Palestinian Arabic contains influence from Judeo-Moroccan Arabic, Judeo-Lebanese Arabic, and Judeo-Syrian Arabic.
