Synoptic Dictionary of the Hebrew Component in Jewish Languages

Vol. XXXVI
Synopsis
The dictionary mainly covers the Hebrew component in languages that have not been documented or that have been documented less than that of the prestigious Judeo-languages, Yiddish and Latino. Thus, it encompasses the different dialects of Judeo-Arabic from North Africa, Yemen and Iraq, and to some extent from Syria, Judeo-Georgian and Judeo-Persian. Other languages are included sporadically. It also includes Haketiya (Moroccan Judeo-Spanish), Judeo-Italian and others.
Reviews

"[...] Maman’s dictionary represents an extensive and well-documented collection of Hebrew words in several Jewish languages [...] The heft of this edition conveys the significance of the influence of Hebrew on Jewish languages around the world." - Sarah Bunin Benor, Journal of Jewish Languages 8, December 2020
