Sephardic Jews live all over the world, and speak the languages of the countries they live in. The most common first languages of Sephardic Jews are:

  1. Hebrew
  2. English
  3. Arabic
  4. Spanish
  5. Portuguese
  6. Turkish
  7. French
  8. Ladino


Ladino was once a prominent language of Sephardic Jews. It was a Jewish dialect of Medieval Spanish. Today there are less than 100,000 native speakers, almost all of which live in Israel, with a minority in Turkey. (There may be as many as 300,000 second-language speakers all over the world.)

The word "Sephardic" comes from the Hebrew word "Sepharad," which refers to the Iberian Peninsula, specifically Spain.

The term is used to distinguish their culture, traditions, and typically the Ladino language they speak from other Jewish groups.
