"#Ladino is a historical #language of the #Sephardic #Jews, an amalgam of 15th-century #Spanish and other Romance languages. Traditionally written in #Hebrew characters, it is also influenced by Hebrew in vocabulary and structure. It was spoken by the Jews of #Spain, who took it with them when they were expelled from the country.
Once spoken across a thriving #diaspora that stretched across Southern #Europe, the #Balkans, #NorthAfrica, #Turkey and the #MiddleEast, Ladino is now considered endangered. Most native speakers are older than 60 and live primarily in #Israel. Estimates suggest only a few tens of thousands remain. One estimate pegged the number of speakers at 60,000 in 1994, and the number has trended downward since then. Many Ladino speakers were killed in the #Holocaust, and survivors were uprooted and adopted other languages.
#NesiAltaras, a #Turkish #Jewish #researcher at #Stanford, is one of a coterie of #historians..."

#Historians research, analyse, and catalogue past follies of humanity. Since the collective behaviour of humans is cyclic, the insight of the historians is a reliable predictor of humanity’s #future.
And when people do not heed the warnings of the historians, past mistakes recur, as can be observed throughout the whole world, at present.
in my 4 decades of online life, i go where these people go:
#astronomers especially #NASA
#infosec & #hackers

Is there such a thing as grants for public #historians (in my case, with academic credentials) working solo?
Let me know if you can point me at any resources that might answer that question. #publichistory #histodons #JapaneseHistory #funding
That could block #public #access to more than 700 million White House emails, among countless other records, in Archives possession since the #law went into effect in 1978, Baron said.
…The impact of the #DOJ opinion could be felt quickly by #historians, #scholars & #journalists who regularly access presidential records & make requests for their release.
