 | | The language is also called Judæo-Spanish, Sefardi, Dzhudezmo, Judezmo, and Spanyol; Haquitía (from the Arabic haka حكى, "tell") refers to the dialect of North Africa, especially Morocco. |
 | | Until recent times, the language was widely spoken throughout the Balkans, Turkey, the Middle East, and North Africa, having been brought there by Jewish refugees fleeing Spain following the expulsion of the Jews in 1492. |
 | | Ladino was the most used language in Thessaloniki, Greece until after World War I, and remained widespread there until the death of 49,000 Thessalonikan Greek Jews in the Holocaust during the Second World War. |
