User:Universal Life/Original Sephardic Dialects

There are three variants of Judaeo-Spanish, namely; The Haketia Variant, The Levantine Variant and The Ponentine Variant.

This is a rough classification of Judaeo-Spanish dialects based on the existed/existing communities. The short-term purpose is to make a list of all communities and the long-term purpose is to point out all the differences and variations existing/existed between the variants of the Judaeo-Spanish language spoken by these communities; and then also the dialects can be reclassified accordingly. As the terms variant, subvariant, dialect and subdialect in linguistics are quite indefinite, here, a rather simple and easy approach with the terminology has been applied. The term macrolect here refers to the language of a particular community alone, disregarding whether it's the same subdialect with another community's subdialect or whether it's a dialect or subdialect of its own.

The very often term "spoken" used below, doesn't imply that it's spoken now, but that rather it used to be the original location for that subdialect to be spoken (the original place the community used to live). (In brackets), the names of the places are given in Judaeo-Spanish, however most of them except the Greek cities' names are guesses, therefore needs correction.

The Haketia Variant

An original letter in Haketia from Tangier, written in 1832.

• Originally spoken in Morocco.
• Alternate spellings: Jaquetía, Hakitia, Jhaketía.
• Now spoken Argentina, Brazil, Canada, France, Israel, Morocco, Spain, United States and Venezuela.
• The original inicial Latin letter f which disappeared in many dialects and retained in some other; is usually pronounced like a simple (not guttural) aspiration in Haketia, somewhere between the English "h" and the Hebrew "ה". Examples: Hazer, Hijo, Hormiga, Hoja etc.
• The word para is usually shortened to pa and también to tamién.
• The /ʃ/ sound (English sh) in the words that came from Hebrew, are pronounced like a simple sibilant "s". Therefore words like Moshé Rabenu, Rosh Ashaná are pronounced like Mosé Rabenu, Ros Asaná etc. Though some subdialects probably retain the "sh" sound.
• A lot of Arabism is present in the language. It is estimated that 40% of the spoken vocabulary derives from Arabic.
• The letter "s" in end-syllable position if comes before "t" or "d", the "s" duplicates the following dental letter. Thus, hasta is pronounced as hatta and desde is pronounced as dedde.
• The diphtongs "ue", "ua" or "uo" coming after the letter "b", changes the sound to "w". Thus Bueno is pronounced as Wueno.
• The hard "j" in the beginning of the words or after "n", that is usually pronounced as /dj/, is pronounced as a soft /j/ in Haketia. The pronounciation is Jente, Enjuntos, Jugar, Joven and not Djente, Endjuntos, Djugar, Djoven.
• In some of the subdialects the verbs in the present tense and first person end in "-oy" than the usual ending "-o". Thus we have pensoy, estoy, comoy, voy.
• The pronounciation of "s" after the letter "i" as /j/ which a common feature in the Levantine variant, is not present in Haketia. Thus we have /vizitar, kize/ instead of /vijitar, kije/.

Le croiseur Berlin devant la forteresse d'Agadir

• The Agadir city was first founded in the 12th century by the Berber tribe called Ksima. They called it the Port of Mesegina, a synonyme for Ksima. It was then under the Almohad Empire.
• After the Almohad Empire, the city was under Marinid Dynasty, a Berber dynasty from 13th to mid-15th century.
• The city is renamed Agadir-el-Arba, from the word Agadir meaning "a wall" in the Shilha language. The change of name occurs the 15th century.
• Then the city is ruled by the Wattasid dynasty, another Berber dynasty for a few years and then gets captured by the Saadi dynasty, an Arab dynasty towards the ends of the 15th century.
• In 1505, the Portuguese build a fortress in Agadir-al-Arba and they call it Santa Cruz do Cabo de Aguer, they capture the city and call it Founti, meaning Fountain in Portuguese.
• In 1541, the Saadi Sultan Mohammed ash-Sheikh captures the city, back from the Portuguese.
• Sometime in the 16th century, a branch of the Sephardic Jews, expelled from Spain and Portugal, settle in the city.
• In 1572, a fortress called the Kasbah is constructed by the Sultan and the city is called by the same name. However the city at the same time is called Agadir-N'Ighir by the local people, meaning "the Fortified granary of The Hill" in Shilha.
• Starting in late 16th century and during 17th century, Agadir N'Ighir becomes a very important city due to its economic activities. Because Agadir is strategically located on both the Atlantic seaboard and near the Sous Valley, it becomes a vital trade depot for European and local merchants. Important caravans passes through Agadir into the Sous and they bring African slaves, gold dust from western Sudan, and ostrich feathers from the southern Sahara Desert. Textile products and leatherwork from Marrakesh also find their way to the Sous through Agadir, as well as European medicines and guns. Sugar, copper and wax is exported to Europe.
• In 1659, the city is governed by the Tazerwalt kingdom, a kingdom of the local population of the Sous region which includes Agadir. They obtain this opportunity of freedom as the Saadi dynasty is resolving.
• However, in 1666, Agadir is captured this time by the Alaouites. It's today, the descendents of the Alaouite Sultans that rule Morocco.
• In 1731, a severe earthquake hits Agadir, destroying most of its infrastructure. The city is rebuild within 15 years by the efforts of the local population and the help of the Dutch, who settled under Kasbah with special permission of the Alaouite Sultan.
• In the 1750s, the Sous people, the local Berbers, try to rebel in order to obtain a free country. The Sultan, in return decides to grant a special accord of commerce to the port of Mogadir, therefore diminishing the economic importance of Agadir. In order to accomplish it, the Sultan moves 2000 of Agadir's Jewish inhabitants to Mogadir, especially those profession was merchandise.
• In 1760, the port is closed to trade and Agadir's economic importance decreases drastically. Agadir slowly becomes an unpopulated city of fishermen.
• In 1881, the port is open again to trade, by the Sultan, in order to counteract any possible cooperation between the Sous and colonialist Europe.
• In 1991,
