Welcome to my channel! This is Andy from I love languages. Let's learn different languages/dialects together. I created this for educational purposes to spread awareness that we are diverse as a planet.

Special Thanks to Zazavar Kurmanov

Native to: Azerbaijan, Russia – North Caucasian Federal District, spoken by immigrant communities in Israel, United States (New York City)
Ethnicity: Mountain Jews
Native speakers: (ca. 101,000cited 1989–1998)[
Language family: Indo-European (Indo-Iranian)

The language is known as Juhuri, Judeo-Tat, and Gorsky. Judeo-Tat is an endangered language classified as "definitely endangered" by UNESCO's Atlas of the World's Languages in Danger, with only 101,000 speakers.

Judeo-Tat/Juhuri is a Southwest Iranian language (as is modern Persian) and is much more closely related to Modern Persian than most other Iranian languages of the Caucasus [e.g. Talysh, Ossetian, and Kurdish].

It is essentially Archaic Persian. As the Persian Jews migrated to Azerbaijan during the 5th/6th centuries and isolated themselves in the mountains, their language also remained preserved. Thus, Juhuri is derived from Late Middle Persian (450 BCE–650CE)‌, intermediary of Late Middle Persian and Early New Persian.

Still, it's somewhat mutually intelligible with Modern Persian, with a core of Medieval Persian, with a smattering of Hebrew, Aramaic, Arabic, Azerbaijani, Dağestani, and Russian.
