the Judeo-Spanish language of Sephardi Jews

The Judeo-Spanish language Sephardi Jews carried out of Spain in 1492 and kept alive across the Ottoman world for centuries, written historically in Hebrew letters. It's still spoken by some communities today, mostly older generations, and it's classified as endangered, which is the kind of fact that should bother people more than it does.
