Finding Ephraim Introduction:
Each Jew is distinct in origin, in as much as to say that I would not even attempt to explain how, other than to give you the links that are already in existence on the internet. The Ashkenazi Jew is generally identified as Caucasian. The Sephardic of Spanish descent. This page presents to you my collection of information of the Jew, Crypto-Jew that have been dispersed around the world. Enjoy! Shalom

- Ladino, otherwise known as Judeo-Spanish, is the spoken and written Hispanic language of Jews of Spanish origin. Ladino did not become a specifically Jewish language until after the expulsion from Spain in 1492 - it was merely the language of their province. It is also known as Judezmo, Dzhudezmo, or Spaniolit.
When the Jews were expelled from Spain and Portugal they were cut off from the further development of the language, but they continued to speak it in the communities and countries to which they emigrated.
