ArchivesLadino?
in reply to a message by Miss Claire
What cultural or ethnic group is ladino? I never heard of that term, used in this context, until now. As far as I know, a ladino is person who has both Latin (from Spain, Portugal, Italy or France) and Native American (as in mesoamerican i.e. Mayan, Aztec, Inca, etc) bloddlines.
Is ladino also used in the same context as latin or latino? or is it a different term?

Latino/latina = person from Latin America or with Latin heritage
Ladino = Language of the Sefardic Jews
Ladin = Rhaeto-Roman dialect spoken in Italy.

The Ladino language is a mix of pre expulsion Spanish, French, Arabic... if you want an example, today people in Spain write "hermosa" and "Hernan Cortes", but in Old Spanish & in Ladino, it is "fermoza" (actually Fermoza was the name of my great great grand aunt) and "Fernan Cortes" (he wrote his name that way).
