Mizrahi Hebrew, or Eastern Hebrew (Hebrew: הגייה מזרחית, romanized: hăgiyyâ mizrāḥît, lit. 'eastern pronunciation'), is a group of pronunciation systems for Biblical Hebrew used liturgically by Mizrahi Jews: Jews from Arab countries or east of them and with a background of Arabic, Persian or other languages of Asia. As such, Mizrahi Hebrew is actually a blanket term for many dialects.
