>>As for the Yiddish comparison. I am not so sure that works. Yiddish has literature, poetry, plays and even newspapers written entirely in it. I don't think you can compare it, not even to Ladino.

>Just curious.........which language (Yiddish or Ladino) is part of your family's background? Your name says Yiddish, but your origin (Argentina if I remember correctly????) says Ladino.


Yiddish, which my grandparents spoke when in front of us kids so we wouldn't understand. My mother speaks it too.
Ladino would only be for Sephardic Jews, not Ashkenazi. It is a kind of ancient Spanish, a remnant from the expulsion from Spain during the Inquisition.
