Almost all of the speakers of this language now live in and around Jerusalem. However, the language was originally spoken around Bijil in Iraqi Kurdistan. To speak about Kurdish Jews is not quite correct, but Jews of Kurdistan may be more appropriate. What today we call Kurdistan, a rough area covering portions of a number of different recognised sovereign states, has quite a mixed demography, and this was even more pronounced up until the 20th century. --Gareth Hughes 21:33, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
