Summary

Description
English: Judeo-Iranian is a group of languages historically spoken by Jews from present-day political Iran. This group includes the Jewish language from Shiraz, Iran, also known as Judeo-Shirazi and referred to as "Jidi" by its speakers. Like many Judeo-Iranian languages, Judeo-Shirazi has a lower degree of intelligibility to speakers of Modern Persian, and in fact bears similarity to the language of 14th century national poet Hafiẓ. Now, the Judeo-Iranian languages, including Judeo-Shirazi, are nearly extinct due to 20th-century educational policies and massive emigration to the United States and Israel [1].

The speaker interviewed in this video is Dr. Elie Alyeshmerni, who was born in Shiraz and now resides in Los Angeles, California. This interview was conducted via Zoom by Haideh Herbert-Aynehchi, and transcribed and translated in English by Noah Khaloo, with the HUC-JIR Jewish Language Project.

This video was created as part of a Wikimedia Community Fund grant with Wikitongues titled "Documenting and increasing Jewish language representation on Wikimedia" [2].
