Judeo-Syrian Arabic, also called Syrian Judeo-Arabic, is a dialect of the Judeo-Arabic dialects based on Syrian Arabic.
After the exodus of Jews from Syria, Judeo-Syrian Arabic was stigmatized in Israel as it was viewed as an "enemy language".[1] There was a Judeo-Syrian Arabic speaking community in İskenderun until 1998 but it no longer exists.
Judeo-Syrian Arabic contained Ladino and Hebrew loanwords.[2]
There are YouTube videos and samples of Judeo-Syrian Arabic available online. The Syrian Jewish community in New York City has maintained a strong Judeo-Syrian Arabic musical tradition.[3]

Kil minu ju'an yiji wayakol | This is the bread of affliction that our ancestors ate in the land of Egypt. All those who are hungry, let them enter and eat. |
