Subject: Hebrew in Portugal
Hello, I'm looking for any work that deals with the pronunciation of Hebrew in (medieval) Portugal. As far as I know, the only ones to deal with it at any length are S. Morag's entry in EJ, and an earlier article by I. Garbell from the 1950s that treats Spain and Portugal as one. I also know of studies of Portuguese Hebrew manuscripts by T. Metzger and G. Sed-Rajna, but their focus is less linguistic. I seem to recall a series called "lashon ve-eda" or thereabouts that dealt specifically with "community traditions" of Hebrew, but I haven't had luck tracking it down here. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Devon Strolovitch Cornell University Linguistics Department Morrill Hall Ithaca, NY 14853-4701

There seems to be no publication dealing with Hebrew in Portugal in the series _eda velashon_ published by The Jewish Oral Traditions Research Center (formerly The Hebrew University Language Traditions Project). Please check the following website, which also list all the publications of this important series. http://www.hum.huji.ac.il/masorot/ Tsuguya Sasaki http://www.ts-cyberia.net/

Subject: ladino
I am trying to teach my son Ladino. My own knowledge of the language is fairly limited, so teaching him is fairly difficult. I wanted to know if anyone knew of some books on the language. I myself have been unable to find any. Thank You Mike Atamas aelfgar @ aelfgar.com

Subject: Re: ladino
My son is only a couple of months old. I wanted to learn ladino myself and then teach him. This has been a long time goal of mine for two reasons. First, I am an amateur linguist, and second my familiy is Sephardic. My grandparents were forced to move to Crimea and to speak to the natives they learned Yiddish and Russian and fogot Ladino, so my parents do not speak Ladino. My grandparents wanted me to learn it, and I am trying to honor their wish. -- Mike Atamas <webmaster @ aelfgar.com>
