Journal: Journal of Jewish Languages
Issue: Revitalization and Reclamation of Endangered Jewish Languages
Call Deadline: 26-Jun-2026

Many Jewish languages or language varieties today are minoritized or
endangered and in need of various types of support. The Journal of
Jewish Languages is preparing a special issue focused on the
revitalization or reclamation of these languages or varieties. While
much work has been done to document and describe at least some of
these languages, this issue focuses on the more applied aspects of
supporting minoritized Jewish language communities. We welcome papers
discussing recent initiatives or community experiences supporting
endangered Jewish languages through revitalization, reclamation,
preservation, conservation, etc. We particularly encourage submissions
from insider linguists, community activists, and/or linguists
collaborating with members of Jewish language communities. Submissions
can focus on Jewish languages and varieties including but not limited
to: Algerian Jewish Sign Language, Jewish Neo-Aramaic, varieties of
Judeo-Arabic, Jewish Ethiopian, Haketia, Judeo-Iranian, Jewish
Malayalam, Jewish Marathi, Bukharian, Juhuri, Ladino, or Yiddish.
The deadline for abstract submissions is June 26th. Abstracts should
be 300 words or less, and be submitted along with a proposed title and
references to Emma Breslow at ebreslow at hawaii.edu and Bryan Kirschen
at kirschen at binghamton.edu. Full articles will be due October 20,
2026, and should be no longer than 12,000 words including notes and
references. Accepted abstracts will be notified by late July, and
articles will be sent out for double-blind peer review toward the end
of 2026.
