[Heb-NACO] Online Ladino reference resources?

[Heidi G Lerner]

Hi Lili,

That is a good question with a less than satisfactory answer. Unfortunately Ladino does not have a standard orthography and lacks a single authoritative or normative dictionary to be employed for the romanization of Ladino.

For words of Hebrew/Aramaic derivation, as per the ALA/LC table we generally romanize them according to the ALA/LC table for Hebrew.

I don't remember if I ever came across a word that was taken from Turkish or Arabic. Certainly for those I would consult with Asuman and Magda.

I strongly encourage you to read the article by Zachary Baker "Some Problems of Ladino/Judezmo Romanization) that appeared in Judaica Librarianship v. 9, v.1/2, p. 48

The best recommendation is for words emanating from the Spanish, use a good standard Spanish dictdionary. In the above-mentioned article Zachary offers some for other resoureces on help with romanization (Baker, p. 53-54). SUL should have these and I would encourage you to check them out or order if available.

My best wishes for a lovely time off and Happy Hanukah!!!
Sincerely, Heidi

Hi all,



I’m new to the world of Hebraica cataloging (started at Stanford in September!) and am curious if folks have any recommendations for online reference resources that they use when romanizing Ladino. I’m working on ordering the physical dictionaries that the ALA/LC romanization chart lists, but I’m hoping that there is an online tool I can access in the meantime.



Thanks in advance for your time and suggestions!



Best,

Lili
