Thank you for this post. My daughter is a linguistics nerd and I passed this on to her.

My friend’s father was raised speaking, reading and writing Ladino (the Jewish language in Spain, derived from the name “Latin”). After the Masada uprising, the Roman Empire forcibly relocated a lot of Jews to Spain, so it goes way back.

When my friend’s father was young on Manhattan’s Lower East Side, several of those languages were present in the neighborhood, especially Yiddish.

When clearing out his house after his passing (at a ripe old age), boxes of his old correspondence were eagerly sought by an American professor, to study the language.

Ladino is close to one of the prettiest languages on Earth.

It’s like an edgy French. Just wonderful to listen to.

Apparently pretty easy to learn.
