Judeo-Spanish, also known as Ladino, comes from the Iberian peninsula in the Medieval age, when Jews lived in what is now Spain and Portugal. Dr. Bryan Kirschen, co-director of the Ladino Collaboratory at Binghamton University, introduces the discourses around labeling this variety, its position in relation to language families, its unique linguistic features, and more in this comprehensive lecture. 

This class was part of a 2023 joint course between JewishLive's UnYeshiva and the HUC-JIR Jewish Language Project. To learn more, see the Judeo-Spanish page at www.jewishlanguages.org/judeo-spanish-judezmo-ladino.
