Other comments: Judeo-Tat or Juhuri has a numeral system similar to that of Persian. Juhuri, also called Judeo-Tat, is spoken by several thousand Caucasian, or Mountain, Jews, who call themselves Juhuro or (in Russian) Kavkazi Evrei, Gorsky Evrei. Until recent decades, the Juhuro were concentrated primarily in the towns and villages on the eastern slopes of the Caucasus mountains, primarily in Dagestan (part of the Russian Federation), Chechnya, and Azerbaijan. Today, with a global population estimated between 100-200,000, they live primarily in Israel and the U.S., although thousands remain in Dagestan and Azerbaijan. Juhuri is classified by linguists as belonging to a distinct Tat branch of the Southwestern Iranian languages, closely related to Muslim Tat and, at a greater distance, to Classical, Middle, and Modern Persian, with which it is not mutually intelligible. Tajik-Israeli researcher Michael Zand has identified at least four distinct dialects spoken in Derbent, Quba, Makhachkala-Nalchik, and Vartashan (now Oguz). Influences from Hebrew are apparently manifest in the lexicon and phonology of the language, while neighboring Caucasian languages and more recently Russian have also significantly influenced the language. |
