Judeo-Tripolitanian Arabic (also known as Tripolitanian Judeo-Arabic Jewish Tripolitanian-Libyan Arabic Tripolita’it Yudi) is a variety of Arabic spoken by Jews formerly living in Libya. Most speakers now live in Israel and Italy. Most speakers are over 40. Judeo-Tripolitanian Arabic differs from standard Libyan Arabic in that it closely resembles the original dialect of the sedentary population whereas much of Libya’s population now speaks Bedouin-influenced varieties of Arabic.
