Description[edit | edit source]

  • Palestinian Arabic is the official and primary language spoken by Palestinians and has a unique dialect. A Levantine Arabic dialect subgroup, it is spoken in Palestine by Arab citizens of Israel (Palestinians) and in Palestinian populations in the West Bank, Gaza, elsewhere within the Occupied Territories, and in the diaspora around the world. However, Palestinian refugees in other parts of the world may have a different dialect from Palestinian Arabic.
  • Arabic is used for official administrations.
  • Hebrew has become more common since the early 20th century because of the many Israeli settlements in the West Bank.
  • Russian and Amharic have also started to appear resulting from Aliyah (Jewish migration) from Ethiopia.
  • French is also used as a foreign language.
  • Other Jewish migrants have also brought other European languages. [1]
