I'm a native spanish speaker and I understood 100% of it, its almost Spanish.

as a native spanish speaker myself, its pretty much a dialect, like a creole of spanish

It is spanish, painted with a light jewish brush, its called ladino

As a descendant of the Sefardís, May the world tremble in guilt for failing to protect the Sephardic people and the culture. May God protect the Hispanidad!

I hope the Sephardic community will reclaim its former glory and its culture and language will be recognised again. From an Ashkenazi Jew

[@JackieEtChan]

Yeah they really destroyed this culture. I'm really unlucky because i got sephardic origins but don"t know anyrhing about that because they migrated to morocco for security reasons in the past and had to adapt.

[@innombrable2115]

Im catholic, but I understand that the Sephardic jews are, in fact, part of the Spanish world (Hispanidad) and I dont aprove the persecution that they endured in the past. Viva la Hispanidad Unida!!!. Greeting from Peru, Sephardic brothers

[@naps_878]

because, say it with me now, ladino is a romance language, so therefore any person who knows spanish or portuguese may understand it with little to no difficulty!

[@AvrahamYairStern]

I'm happy to see us Sfaradim getting the recent increase of popularity online, we need this representation to keep Ladino alive!

[@deucedwayne]

I will definitely post something Sefardic in the near future, if you have any good suggestions or renditions of the already popular songs, please feel free to suggest!

[@AvrahamYairStern]

@@deucedwayne another one that's become quite popular recently is Kuando El Rey (Nimrod), but there are more songs too. I don't know too many Ladino songs because Sfaradi (Sefardic) culture in Israel has lived on, but in the Hebrew language instead - unlike Ashkenazim with their Yiddish, Sfaradim were pretty quick to ditch Ladino in favour of Hebrew when they arrived to Israel, so the language isn't very popular here. I am part of the revitalization movement though

[@deucedwayne]

It would be much better if I had some less popular but still interesting songs, since that's something I want to be posted on my channel. Not only for archiving purposes, but also for entertainment and making others meet it with the great interest, so something uplifting or something epic-sounding is a high priority!

as a Portuguese speaker I must say that this is even easier to understand than standard Spanish. Beautiful song btw

[@vlt-NEXT]

Es básicamente español amigo, solo cambia como es escrito pero la pronunciación es la misma, cambia un poco el vocabulario y la pronunciación, pero es Español base

[@samsca8529]

Cause this song is in Ladino, I assume, which is older than standard Spanish

[@Niizzi]

All good, but Ladino was based only on Spanish language, not Portuguese. In fact the name of the language is Also know as Djudeo-Espaniol. While a separate variant also existed called Djudeo-Portugyese but that variant is extinct already.

[@gifdojosuke7483]

I'm a Portuguese speaker, and I understand practically everything, I think it's clearer than even Spanish

[@Niizzi]

@@gifdojosuke7483 It may be but I am talking about the origin of djudeo-spanyol not Portuguese.

[@davidcarpacho6891]

¿La lengua de los judíos sefardies era el español que se usaba en la época de su presencia en la península o era una lengua suya propia (obviamente parecida al español por convivir con hispanohablantes)? ¿Hubo también una lengua sefardí pero para el portugués?

[@deucedwayne]

Sephardi is a language that derived from Old Spanish + some Hebrew spots. Of course, its main usage was in Spain, but there is also a community of speakers in Thessaloniki and in North Africa. There was also Djudeo-Portuguese language but it's extinct now.

[@davidfessler1826]

Why isn’t Portugal on your map? Give Portugal their respect and recognition. They were also Sephardic and spoke Ladino. More research recommended. Portuguese speakers will appreciate this very much.

[@cameo1013]

the specific ladino dialect sung here is the spanish dialect. there WAS a ladino portuguese dialect, although that one is pretty much in the linguistics cemetery.

[@HeartFunFunnydoll]

You are the one who should study more. This variant is djudeo-espanyol. The Portuguese variant is extinct. If they put Portugal on the map it would encompass everything as Hispanic. The Portuguese are luso, not Hispanic.

I'm sorry but this map is not accurate, Sephardic Jews are even more Portuguese than they are Spanish due to the expulsion acts taking place in Spain before than in Portugal (where most Spanish sephardis migrated to originally after the Alhambra Decree). As such Portugal, that had its own sephardis should be in the map.

[@fmercury1980]

The song is in Ladino, which was the language spoken by the CASTILLIAN Jews. Judeo-portuguese culture and language died out.

Shame to them you mean... You can say anything about Moorish Spain but at their time Jews were not expelled.

[@wengercleopatra2150]

@@jeanlebreton2049Jews lived under dhimmi status in Moorish Spain which means they were ‘tolerated’ only as long as they didn’t criticize Islam and pay a hefty tax known as the jizya. The moorish rulers were pretty intolerant too

[@jeanlebreton2049]

This has largely evolved if you consider the 700 years of Al-Andalous and the multiplicity of political institutions that represented it. But even if you don't take that into account, in what way does it justify? I mean, that's not like the expulsion was a local pogrom, it directed the destiny of Jews for 500 years... @@wengercleopatra2150

Ladino is based on the Old Spanish from the 1500s, just like Modern Spanish. Ladino/Judeo-Español is the closest language/dialect to Spanish that there is and Ladino speakers refer to their language as 'Spanish'. It has nothing to do with the Portuguese language other than the fact that it borrowed a couple words from Portuguese/Judeo-Portuguese. Judeo-Portuguese being a language which is now extint.
