Jews have mainly avoided intermarriage with other groups in recent centuries, but they speak the same Egyptian Arabic language as everyone else.
The Berbers living in the west (Siwa oasis, the oases west of the Nile and along the coast west of Alexandria), primarily speak Arabic, but Berber language is still strong in Siwa.
Most Nubians in the south have now been Arabized in language and culture, and consider themselves mainly as Arabs, even if they racially are not. A large minority of them still, however, do speak the Nubian language.
