Language Selection
My ideal partner would be someone who mainly knows computer science, but knows some linguistics as well since I mainly know linguistics but have some computer science knowledge. I'm in EST right now, so anyone in that timezone or a timezone with only a few hours difference would be preferred. These are the languages I'm considering working on, in order of preference:
- Ladino, aka Judeo-Spanish
- The morphological typology of Ladino is very similar to Spanish, its parent language. As such, it is fusional, with each verb or noun being conjugated with suffixes that can change based on the number, gender, formality, tense, aspect, and mood. Like Spanish, it is SVO and uses prepositions. There are some small differences between phonology and pronouns, as well as some loanwords from Hebrew and Arabic, but for the most part, Ladino and Spanish are morphologically the same.[1]
- There are an estimated 60,000 - 400,000 total speakers, mostly clustered in Israel and Turkey. These speakers would likely also know Hebrew, Spanish, Turkish, or English, depending on where they live. For most, Ladino would not be their only language. Ladino is endangered, with most speakers being older and the language not being passed on to younger generations. It is mainly written in three different orthographies - the standard Latin alphabet, the Turkish variant of the Latin alphabet, and the Rashi script of the Hebrew alphabet (a variant on the standard square script). There are multiple available resources for text in Ladino, including multiple songs, a version of the Tanakh that was written in 1553 called the Ferrara Bible, and a version of Wikipedia in Ladino. Its ISO codes for both ISO 639-2 and ISO 639-3 are 'lad'.[1]

- Chatino is
strongly head-marking with somewhat agglutinating and synthetic morphology
