Join us for our next History Happy Hour with Molly FitzMorris for a talk about
"A century of language change: Ladino in Seattle today."
"A century of language change: Ladino in Seattle today."
Molly will explain how the history of Ladino in Seattle led to the language shift from Ladino to English among Seattle's Sephardic Jews, and how this language shift has impacted the Ladino spoken today. The talk highlights some of the most prominent features of this unique North American dialect of Ladino; some of these features can still be found in spoken Ladino, while others have all but disappeared. Though it is difficult to reverse language shift, Seattle may be in a unique position to preserve the Ladino language.
Light refreshments will be provided.
