The paper discusses Lotera'i, the hybrid language of the Jewish communities of Persia. It serves to protect the privacy of conversation among members of the community in the presence of gentiles. Loterd'i is a mixed language. Pronouns, adjectives and the majority of nouns and verbal bases, as well as some prepositions, are Semitic, whereas verbal endings, modal prefixes, suffix pronouns, most of the particles, as well as the sentence structure are Iranian.
