Summary/Abstract: Like all Jewish languages, Judeo-Arabic dialects borrowed numerous terms from Hebrew and Aramaic. Many studies have already been conducted on modern North-African Judeo-Arabic, some concerning specifically Judeo-Moroccan dialects, in their written or oral forms. This study intends to offer a systematic analysis of how the Hebrew component of Judeo-Arabic in Fez behaves in terms of phonological and phonetical adaptation and to look in particular for regularities in that adaptation.
