Judeo-Egyptian Arabic is an Arabic dialect spoken by Egyptian Jews. It is close to the dialect of Alexandria, even for speakers in Cairo. For example, in Cairene Arabic, "I write" is baktib. In Egyptian Judeo-Arabic, in western Alexandrian Arabic and in the Maghrebi Arabic dialects (Moroccan, Algerian, Tunisian) it is nektob, resembling a first person plural.^[1]
