Beginner's Ladino
Book and 2 audio CDs. Ladino, also known as Judeo-Spanish, is the language
of the Sephardic Jews. During the middle ages, the Jews who lived in the
Iberian Peninsula spoke and wrote in the Romance languages of the host
culture. They developed a unified dialect that was distinct from Castilian
Spanish. After the expulsion of the Jews in 1492, this language became part
of the 'Iberian Heritage' of the Sephardim throughout the world. Today,
although the language is in danger of extinction, it is experiencing a
revival. |
