| | Ladino language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Despite a major fire, economic oppression by Greek authorities, and mass settlement of Greek-speaking refugees, the language remained widely spoken in Salonika until the death of 49,000 Salonikan Jews in the Holocaust during the Second World War. | | | The name 'Dzhudezmo' is used by Jewish linguists, 'Judeo-Espanyol' by Turkish Jews; 'Judeo-Spanish' by Romance philologists; 'Ladino' by laymen, especially in Israel; 'Hakitia' by Moroccan Jews; 'Spanyol' by some others. | | | Until recent times, the language was widely spoken throughout the Balkans, Turkey, the Middle East, and North Africa, having been brought there by Jewish refugees fleeing Spain following the expulsion of the Jews in 1492. |

| | The Ladino Language |
| | When I heard about the Crypto Jews of New Mexico, I wondered if they had preserved any elements of the Ladino dialect. | | | In my communications with Crypto Jews I found many who's grandparents said El Dio rather than Dios but none who called Sunday Alhat. | | | Years later I found that the first three words were Portuguese and the fourth was Catalan. |
