Topic: Ladino



  
 Ladino language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sometimes "Ladino" is reserved for a very Hebraicized form used in religious translations as in the Ferrara Bible.
However, it is still sometimes written in the Hebrew alphabet (especially in Rashi characters), a practice that was very common, possibly almost universal, until the 19th Century (and called aljamiado, by analogy with Arabic usage.) Although the Greek and Cyrillic alphabets have been employed in the past, this is rare nowadays.
There are also those who, with Iacob M Hassán, claim that Ladino should adopt the orthography of the standard Spanish language.

 Ladino, the Sephardic Language - Judeo-Spanish Judeo-Espagnol
Ladino, otherwise known as Judeo-Spanish, is the spoken and written Hispanic language of Jews of Spanish origin.
For most of its lifetime, Ladino was written in the Hebrew alphabet, in Rashi script, or in Solitro, a cursive method of writting letters.
In fact, what is known as 'rashi script' was originally a Ladino script which became used centuries after Rashi's death in printed books to differentiate Rashi's commentary from the text of the Torah.

 FORWARD : Arts & Letters
It is for this reason that scholars have sometimes gone to Ladino to reconstruct lost aspects of medieval Spanish.
Not only did the Ladino-speaking countries never develop the yeshivas and great centers of rabbinical learning that characterized the Eastern-European Jewish world, but, in addition, the Spanish exiles arrived in them after a long period of cultural decline and Inquisitorial persecution in Spain itself that had seriously eroded their level of Jewish knowledge.
Although on the whole more concise than encyclopedic, this is to the best of my knowledge the first work of its kind and one that both the Ladino student and the amateur Jewish linguist will find useful.

The best-known example of rabbinic literature in Ladino is Me'am Loez, the 18th- and 19th-century commentary on the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible).
Today's treasures of Ladino are certainly not limited to translations of the prayers or commentaries on them.
As Ladino moved, a literature of its own came into being, reflecting the Diaspora experience of living as a Jew in a foreign land, and using words and stories to preserve a heritage that was not always appreciated by the wider world.
