Judeo-Venetian also known as Giudeo-Veneziano was a dialect of the Venetian language spoken by the Jewish community of Venice.

History

Judeo-Venetian was formed as Jews in Venice began speaking their own dialect of Venetian due to isolation from the general populace in the Venetian ghetto and influence from Hebrew. The language would go extinct at some point in the 20th century.^[1]

Features

It was relatively similar to Venetian but did contains some minor differences in morphology. The 1st person plural possessive pronoun is mie instead of me, 2nd and 3rd person singular ending match.^[2]

There however a larger difference in lexicon with Judeo-Venetian preserving archaisms, and introducing loanwords from Judeo-Spanish and Hebrew.^[2]
