Catalanic

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Catalanic, also called Qatalanit (קאטאלנית) or the more scholarly Judæo-Catalan, was a Jewish language spoken by the Jewish communities of northeastern today's Spain, especially in Catalonia and the Balearic Islands. Linguistically, it shared many features in common with early Shuadit (Judæo-Provençal), although historically, ethnically and politically, the Catalanic-speaking community was long distinct from the Shuadit-speaking community, mostly as a result of the Moorish occupation of Iberian peninsula. The golden age of Catalanic was in the period between the early 12th century and 1492, when the Jews were expelled from Spain. (See Alhambra decree). Today, except for the use of a number of Hebrew loanwords, there is little to distinguish the speech of the Catalan Bnei Anusim and their fellow Jews, from the Catalan or Spanish spoken by their non-Jewish neighbors.
