Ladino Shabbat Song Lyrics in Block Hebrew Characters

Would anyone happen to know of a source for the lyrics to Avram Aveinu and Bendigamos in Hebrew characters? I'd like to print some out for a Shabbat I'm hosting and I'd REALLY prefer not to have to type them out myself

Since ladino has consonants sounds from Hebrew can ladino speakers pronounce sounds español speakers can’t easily pronounce?

Since ladino has Hebrew consonants like ש and צ etc.. can ladino speaker pronounce middle eastern sounds that español speakers can’t

What is the difference between ladino and Judeo Spanish? Or are they the same? How similar are they to Portuguese?

Looking for the correct Hebrew alphabet spelling of Ladino saying

I'm interested in integrating a Ladino phrase into a tattoo design but in the correct spelling with Hebrew script.

The saying is "Onde iras, amigos toparas" (wherever you go, may you find friends).

I think (and I'm not positive) that it would look something like this: ונדא יראס אמיגוס טופאראס

Can anyone confirm or direct me to a third party resource for confirmation?

TIA

Shalom! I just created a discord server in order to connect between learners/speakers of Judeo-Languages (Hebrew, Ladino, Yiddish…etc), it would mean a lot if you were to join! I’m currently trying to bring together some documentation, as well as making a bot, in order to make it more learner-friendly.

Ladino composer Nani Vazana @ Eurovision for Minority Languages

In how many different languages can you say THANK YOU?

Friday 22.11 playing at LIET, the European song festival for minority languages.
I will be representing the Netherlands, singing in Ladino which is also a heritage language of the Sephardic jews in the NL. The song I’ll perform is Una Segunda Piel, from my second Ladino album, Ke Haber.

LIET is not only a festival, it’s a competition! and people can vote (from home) for best song. It will be a celebration of languages like Breton (Celtic), Lower Sorbian (West Slavic), Valencian (Catalan), Sardinian, Frisian, Low German, Occitan, Corsican and more!

It is a humbling emotional experience to be invited to share my Ladino heritage among all these languages. The variety of cultures and languages when shared together is truly a treasure of diversity that can inspire all of us.

Here's my invite video

<3

See you in France!

ladino or hebrew in shakespeare?

so there are passages in all's well that ends well that shakespeare scholars have long considered to be gibberish, but I've seen arguments that they're actually hebrew or ladino. I can't find any translations of the phrases or authoritative opinions on what exactly they are.

here's a page with all of the "first soldier's" lines:

https://www.opensourceshakespeare.org/views/plays/characters/charlines.php?CharID=FirstSoldier-aw&WorkID=allswell&cues=1

some of the phrases in question are:

Boskos thromuldo boskos

Manka revania dulche

Boskos vauvado

Acordo linta

any of that make sense to anyone?

Anybody know where to find Moshe ben Rafael Attias' works

A couple of days ago, I asked about Bosnian Jews. Turns out that's a hell of a rabbit hole, which has got me trying to track down this guy's work. No dice so far, thought you folks might know where to go for this sort of thing. Ideally I want a high-quality PDF.

Ladino Sukkot Songs?

Does anyone have any good Sukkot-themed songs in Ladino? And no, "Suká i Lulav" does not count.

Word for a jerk

I have no idea how to spell it, but my ladino speaking grandmother used to refer to fools as what sounded like “Jo Ha terra”… anyone know what the actual words is?? It’s driving me nuts. She would always say “he’s a real Jo ha terra”

Sephardic Hebrew Help?

Shalom chaverim!

I'm wondering if anyone has any sources on how to pronounce Hebrew in the Sephardic tradition. There are resources for Yemeni and Tiberian Hebrew but I haven't been able to find much on the Sephardic tradition.

I know there are many dialects so resources on any dialect of Sephardic Hebrew would be helpful! Thanks :)

Ladino Meruba Keyboard

Shalom! I am a researcher who works on Ladino and have just released the first version of a phonetic Ladino keyboard which uses Hebrew script. It should hopefully make typing in Hebrew script a bit easier if you are used to English or Spanish typing conventions (eg. "p" is פ, "m" is מ, n + SHIFT is ן ). I've written a bilingual Ladino/English guide to use and download the keyboard on Windows or Mac, attached at the link below.

Forsa damus...

This is a prayer from a book about Jacob Frank, sounds like ladino to me, at least I can understand the first half of it - could anybody help me with the second half? -

Forsa damus para verti, seihut grandi asser verti.

"De shalom, poco bré"

Hi everyone,

My great-grand-father used to say "de shalom, poco bré" to tell someone to sush. We suppose it's ladino. Does anyone know what it means ?

Edit : According to chat gpt, it could mean "give me a bit of peace, brother" so the coma would be "de shalom poco, bré". What do you think ?

Trying to decipher what my grandfather used to say

My grandfather was from Iraq and left with his family after the farhoud. He spoke Arabic and ladino but I don’t know any. He used to sing to me and squish my cheeks and I’d love to know if people can help me translate/find the words.

Gutta l’butta

Or

gutta l’buttla.

I know it’s basically nothing to go off of but if it’s from a song or a phrase or something I’d love to know. Thanks

Edit: here’s a link to a voice recording of what I can remember
