Judaeo-Portuguese , Jewish-Portuguese or Judaeo-Lusitanic , is an extinct Jewish language that was used by the Jews of Portugal . [1]
Description
It was the vernacular of Sephardi Jews in Portugal before the 16th century and also in many places of the Portuguese Jewish diaspora. Its texts were written in the Hebrew script ( aljamiado português ) or the Latin alphabet . [2]
As Portuguese Jews intermarried with other expelled Sephards, the language influenced the nearby Judeo-Spanish . Close similarity to Standard Portuguese made Judeo-Portuguese go extinct in Portugal, having survived in everyday usage in the diaspora until the late 18th/early 19th century. Judeo-Portuguese influenced the Papiamento and Saramaccan languages.
