1. Match up: Aragonese vs. Spanish: Aragonese is a language spoken in Aragon Spain, a region in the northeast by the Pyrenees. It is very distinct in its history. It used to be the Kingdom of Aragon and maybe you remember Catherine of Aragon who married King Henry VIII but wouldn’t give him a male child. Watch the Tudors. Anyway Aragon is a very district history and even though Spanish is preferred some people in the region still speak a distinct language. So let’s listen to it. I’ll give it a ranking 1-5 to see how much I understand 1 being nothing and 5 being everything.
2. Match up: Ladino (Judaeo-Spanish) vs. Spanish. I am actually very excited about the next language. Ladino or Judeo Spanish is very close to me. You see, in 1492 the Queen of Spain kicked out all Jewish people out of Spain, mainly to the Ottoman Empire. My family are actually direct descendants from Sephardic Jews expelled during this time. I am not the only one, also congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez reveals in an interview during Hanukah. The language has been influenced by Hebrew and Aramaic loanwords. I don’t speak the language. This is actually the first time hearing it.
3. Match up: Galician vs. Spanish. So our next language is Galician. And the first time I heard of Galicia was from jokes. Spanish people usually make jokes about the people from Galicia. I really don’t know why. It seems like a great place. Galician and Portuguese were actually 1 language, so I am very curious to see how this one goes. Galician was actually banned by Franco and after Spain return to democracy it flourished into a great literary tradition!

When Jewish people were expelled from Spain they had the option of being burnt alive or convert to Catholicism to colonize New Spain kingdoms or...escape to Balkans, North Africa or Middle East. There are specific areas such as Nuevo León, Altos de Jalisco, Cotija and los Reyes de Salgado and Orizaba in Mexico or Antioquia in Colombia that were settled mostly by Sephardic and cripto-Jewish families

I’m learning Ladino! The Cervantes Institute actually recognizes Ladino as an official dialect of Spanish. What’s cool about Ladino is that it preserves some features that began disappearing from other dialects of Spanish around the time of the Expulsion. For instance, Ladino speakers in the Balkans still pronounce the F at the beginning of fazer (hacer) and favlar (hablar). J is also pronounced as either ch or dj in Ladino instead of being the breathy sound it makes in Spanish. I recently saw a really cool newspaper article from New York City from 1903 or 1904. A ship arrived with Jewish passengers from Romania, and there were 3 families on board who spoke Ladino rather than Yiddish (the newspaper described it as “pure Castilian,” which it definitely is *not*). The immigration officials had to unexpectedly call for one of their Spanish translators, and the first one they found was a Sefaradi Jew whose family immigrated from Turkey.

[@benjaminr6153]

Ladino is really just 15th century Castilian. The main difference is that Ladino is written in Hebrew. Some vocabulary may be from Hebrew but that would mostly be religious words. Otherwise, it really is a fossilized Spanish from 1492.

Yes and no what Ladino is really is called Spaineach (From Spain) originally yes was written in Hebrew script however after 1478 Ladino changed because the language and speakers were being systematically cut off of converting ladino into Castilian considering Castilian didn't emerge as the official dialect of Spain until 1500 or so and because of this Ladino is still to this day a medieval Spanish language that pre dates Castilian by 500 years remember ladino was being spoken in Greece, Turkey and Italy around the same time or prior to ladino in the Iberian peninsula and in modern day the language is spoken in 22 countries globally outside of Spain, Portugal and Latin America from Gibraltar(British Spain) Malta(British Sicily), Cyprus(British Greece), Britain (England/London), Italy(Ladin), Turkey(Istanbul), Greece(Solanikia), Armenia, Serbia, Bosnia, Slovakia, Russia, Israel/Palestine and then some

This was a great video! I think I especially like Ladino, and Ladino songs are so lovely.. I wonder if all of these are dialects of Spanish, rather than distinct languages, though?

[@avishaiedenburg1102]

Max Weinreich, a Jewish linguist, had this to say on the topic of what constitutes a language vs. dialect: "a language is a dialect with an army and a fleet". Or in other words, it is political power that determines what's a language and what's a dialect. One of the reasons why Yiddish and Ladino are often regarded as distinct languages is that, at their later stages, these languages were spoken exclusively *outside* of their respective countries of origin, with German Jews adopting Hochdeutsch and Sephardi Jews living primarily in the Balkans and North Africa (as well as the Netherlands).

I mean I initially learned it as "Catalogne", then later as "Cataluña", then "Catalonia"… If I'm tired and the context is appropriate I default to the local name. I mean I reluctantly understand why I have to re-learn the way to say a "spruce" tree or other very specific vocab in x different languages. But toponyms? Proper nouns? I don't really see the point of each language having its own variant of remote place names. I also hate the fact that there are +10 different ways to say the name of the pope or other historical figures, it's stupid. We should just stick to the series of sound they used to refer to themselves.

Es cierto que son muy pocas las diferencias entre el Ladino y el español moderno. Lo que pasa es que algunas consonantes son pronunciadas usando sus valores medievales. principal entre estas es la J y la G suave. Éstas consonantes comparten el mismo sonido que reciben en francés, portugués y catalán. En vez de ser aspirada como en el español moderno, se pronuncia exactamente como se pronuncia en estas otras lenguas. La S en medio de dos vocales es una sibilante vocalizada parecido a la Z en inglés. La Z se pronuncia igual. También algunas palabras que reciben una H al principio conservan la F original de latín. Esto se ven palabras como fazer (hacer) y fija (hija). La X también conserva su valor medieval que es el sonido exacto que se escucha en inglés con SH. Es decir, una sibilante palatalizada. Otra cosa que se observa es el reemplazo de M en ladino por N castellano Y palabras como muestra por decir nuestra y mozós para decir nosotros. Hay otras diferencias. Sin embargo, es tan parecido y tan familiar que cuando lo oímos en español, para nosotros, no registra como otra lengua. Estamos escuchando nuestro propio idioma nada más que otro variante.

Fellow Sephardic Jew here 🙋‍♂️ Ladino feels like a missing link between Portuguese and Spanish to me. Words such as “favlar” honestly just seem like a mash of the Portuguese “falar” and Spanish “hablar”. Some other words just sound like straight up Latin, like the word Dio (God), or like a Portuguese speaker pronouncing a Spanish word (the word “hijo” in Ladino is pronounced with a Portuguese-style J, not the Spanish sound at all). Another super interesting thing is that old texts can be written in the Hebrew alphabet. I can read Hebrew, so Ladino texts in the Hebrew script actually make me laugh a little - it’s so crazy to read this “Portuguese-flavoured Spanish” using the hebrew alphabet.

I'm a native Portuguese speaker with a degree in French and Spanish. To me, the problem with those 3 languages is that they are all found within the boundaries of Spain and as such they are all influenced and tainted by Spanish (the dominant language). All their speakers also speak Spanish as their first language. Phonetically they just all sounded like continental Spanish to me. There were some parts of the Aragonés that I did not understand but perhaps it was due to the quality of the audio. Portuguese does not sound like that at all; neither the Brazilian version or the continental version, especially not the continental version. In Portuguese we have all the nasalized sounds which Galician does not have and overall Portuguese is quite a bit more distant from Spanish than Galician. With that being said, I also like Galician. After all, it's how Portuguese was born.

Ladino started diverging from Spanish 500 years or so ago. But I think the way people speak it will depend on a lot of things - especially what country they live in, how immersed they are in Ladino, and how much contact they’ve had with standard Spanish. Unfortunately it’s dying out. I spoke with a Ladino speaker in Istanbul and understood most of what he said, but his language had many Turkish words in it, which is natural. Lots of the younger people didn’t grow up speaking Ladino since the population has shrunk there due to emigration to Istanbul. Many get interested and study standard Spanish. Of course the Jews of Thessaloníki were almost completely wiped out by the Germans in the 1940s, and only a fraction of that once major community survived and returned. So I would expect their Ladino to be more influenced by Greek today.

As a Portuguese my thought is that most Galiian is so influenced by Castillian that it has become Portunhol. Words similar to Portuguese (and therefor still also to Spanish) pronounciation is really 100% Spanish and has got zero to do with Portuguese. That is this guy. Others can talk a a Galician that is closer in pronounciation to Portuguese btw but I see this rarely on youtube. It is not good or bad, languages simply evolve in their ways and diversify. I think it is actually a nice thing!

[@robertoriggio117]

You are right. Ladino is Spanish the same way most Latin American Spanish is Spanish. It's descended from 15th century or earlier Spanish. The main difference is that it is a language spoken apart from the main languages in those places, which probably preserves a little more of the vocabulary, since it is preserved only within relatively small communities that are also usually at least bilingual with the more common languages in the area. Also, we can assume that the Spanish spoken in Latin America kept some kind of contact with Spain since, for awhile at least, much of it remained part of the Spanish Empire, whereas the Sephardic people who did not go to Latin America or Spanish-speaking countries probably mostly lost contact with Spain, which further aided in preserving older vocabulary.

There’s a Mexican film, “Novia que te vea” in which both Mexican Spanish and Ladino (Judeo-Spanish) are spoken. Ladino-speakers emigrated from Turkey and Greece to Latin America - especially Argentina - around and just after World War I. The Ladino that was spoken in the former Ottoman Empire includes many words from Hebrew (there’s a dictionary of Hebraisms in Ladino), along with French, Italian, and Turkish vocabulary. I think that the Ladino speaker in the video was making a conscious effort to make himself understood to Spanish speakers. The phonology of Judeo-Spanish includes sounds that are absent or very rare in modern Spanish, such as “sh” and “dj.”

I speak fluent Spanish, Portuguese, and of course English. To me, from what I heard on this video, Aragonese is basically Spanish, with some different words used locally, but also the word for speak is not hablar, but fablar. Sort of a Portuguese X Spanish hybrid word. I suspect there are more words like this, that a fluent speaker would use. I totally understand what I heard here. Galician has more "Portuguese" overtones to it. I can understand less than in Aragonese from what I heard here. I can distinguish the Portuguese grammar style and vocabulary and that helps. But the word for motherland (Tierra Madre) in Spanish is (Terra nai) in Galician. Nai being the uniquely Galician word, neither Portuguese (mãe) or Spanish (madre). Ladino, I understood everything taking into account words that I could easily identify as Latin or Portuguese. This form is probably close to the Castillian usage of the 15th century or (Old Spanish). I would like to study this language further. It is fascinating.

Ladino is not really spoken in Spain anymore due to the Jews being expelled from there in 1492. That's how it developed in the first place.

It is an endangered language, spoken by only somewhere between 50.000-150.000 people, mainly elderly speakers. However it is seeing a bit of a resurgence, especially in Israeli media, songs, and academia and has a dedicated academy to preserve the language

I understood all the clips between 4 & 5 in your ranking. I'm English, but spent time in Barcelona, so speak Spanish (Castilian) & Catalan as well as some French, Italian & Portuguese. The Aragonese & Galician speakers had very Spanish accents as if Castilian was their first language, maybe older native speakers would have conserved a more distinct and harder to understand pronunciation. There were aspects of Aragonese that remind me of Catalan. Catalan has close relation to the Occitan languages of S France, but was part of the old Kingdom of Aragon in medieval times, so no doubt that's where the similarities arose. Galician sounded like written Portuguese pronounced as if it were Spanish, even having the Castilian lisping 'ceceo'. Written Portuguese is easy to understand for Spanish speakers, but the unusual soft consonants, nasal sounds and large variation in vowel sounds make the spoken language not very intelligible. Strangely though, the Portuguese I've met always say they understand Spanish very easily, no doubt due to it's very pure vowel sounds and crisp consonants.
