Modern Palestinian Judeo-Arabic (MPJA) is a variety of Arabic that was spoken by some Jews in Ottoman Palestine, and currently by some Israeli Jews in Israel.

It was once spoken by around 10,000 speakers in the 20th century.^[1] Today it is nearly extinct with only 5 speakers remaining in Northern Israel.

MJPA's decline is attributed to the revival of Hebrew and the proliferation of the Hebrew among the Yishuv.^[2]
