cultural spanish thing: Ladino
-
Many folks find that and idenifie Argentain Spanish form automaticly the same way as English speakers do with Jamaican English.
The lost almost unknown of an old spanish form that was spread and talked all over Europe in small communities was the Ladino or her second name Spanyolit.
In modern Spanish it's called Judeo Español.
Ladino was the language of the Balcan jews in the days of the turkish otman empire after there forefathers were expelled from spain and portugal in the 15 hundreds.

Here's a link to Ladino (with audio samples) as well as some other history on Sephardic Jews.As a side note... there's a kosher tapas bar right around the corner from our offices, called Ladino. All of the food is glatt kosher, with a very Spanish flair. Pretty cool!

Now you know the origin of the place's name.
In hebrew the word for spain if sfarad and sfaradim means spaniards.
By the way a funny note is that glat kosher is an yddish term and there is a rancour between sefaradic jews and ashkenazi jews(east europe jews) witch use yddish. -
What does glatt mean, then?

And is it Hebrew or Yiddish in origin? (I suppose I could look this up online, but I like the old-fashioned way of asking people.)
