I am interested in working with someone who is good with computers.
The languages I am interested in working on are: Ladino, Judeo-Iraqi and Cajun (Louisiana French)
1. Typology
Ladino (also known as Judaeo-Spanish) is a Romance language derived from Old Spanish. It was the language of Sephardic Jews, spoken in the Balkans, Turkey and North Africa. It has a strong Hebrew influence.
2. Morphology
• In verbs, the preterite indicates that an action taken once in the past was also completed at some point in the past. That is as opposed to the imperfect, which refers to any continuous, habitual, unfinished or repetitive past action. Thus, "I ate falafel yesterday" would use the first-person preterite form of eat, comí/komí but "When I lived in Izmir, I ran five miles every evening" would use the first-person imperfect form, corría/koria. Though some of the morphology has changed, usage is just as in normative Spanish. • In general, Judaeo-Spanish uses the Spanish plural morpheme /-(e)s/. The Hebrew plural endings /-im/ and /-ot/ are used with Hebrew loanwords, as well as with a few words from Spanish: ladrón/ladron (thief): ladrones, ladronimm; hermano/ermano(brother): hermanos/hermanim / ermanos/ermanim. [23] Similarly, some loaned feminine nouns ending in -á can take either the Spanish or Hebrew plural: quehilá/keilá (synagogue): quehilás/quehilot / keilas/keilot. • Judaeo-Spanish contains more gendering cases than standard Spanish, prominently in adjectives, (grande/-a, inferior/-ra) as well as in nouns (vozas, fuentas) and in the interrogative qualo/quala / kualo/kuala.[21)
