My mom's side of the family speaks Ladino. But they're from Bulgaria, so I guess that doesn't count, huh? Still, chances are I'm part Spanish from somewhere really far back.

Plummy, what's "Ladino"? Is that anything like Spanish, or is is a combination of Bulgarian and Latin?

Posted: 12/26/04 at 4:19pmI thought it was a combination fo Hebrew and Spanish? My music teacher said that so it's probably wrong.

Posted: 12/26/04 at 4:20pmLadino is basically Jewish Spanish the way Yiddish is Jewish German.

Posted: 12/26/04 at 4:37pmI don't know how closely related it is to Hebrew, really. But the idea is close to right.

"At the opening night party, they had clowns on stilts, jugglers, a chocolate fountain, popcorn, hot dogs. [My son] looked at me like I had been holding back. Like, 'This is what you do?' I had to tell him, 'No, no, darling. Opening nights don't usually look like this.' It's usually a dark bar with a bottle of vodka." ?Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's Jan Maxwell
