Judæo-Marathi

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Judæo-Marathi (जुदाव मराठी) is a form of Marathi spoken by the Bene Israel, a Jewish ethnic group that developed a unique identity in India and in Pakistan. Judæo-Marathi is, like other Marathi, written in the Devanagari script. It may not be sufficiently different from Marathi as to constitute a distinct language, although it is characterized by a number of loanwords from Hebrew and Aramaic as a result of influence from the Cochin Jewish community, Judæo-Malayalam and Portuguese.

The Judish-Marathi Community resides in the Thane District of Maharashtra which is on the outskirts of Mumbai.
