Judeo-Syrian Arabic, also called Syrian Judeo-Arabic, is a dialect of the Judeo-Arabic dialects based on Syrian Arabic. It was traditionally written in the Hebrew script.
After the exodus of Jews from Syria, Judeo-Syrian Arabic largely died out in favor of English, Spanish, and Hebrew among the Syrian Jewish diaspora. There was a Judeo-Syrian Arabic speaking community in İskenderun until 1998 but it no longer exists.[1]
