"#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.
