 | | The structure is linguistically related to Spanish, with the addition of many terms from the Hebrew, Portuguese, French, Turkish, Greek, and South Slavic languages depending on where the speakers resided. |
 | | However, it is still sometimes written in the Hebrew alphabet (especially in Rashi characters), a practice that was very common, possibly almost universal, until the 19th Century (and called aljamiado, by analogy with Arabic usage.) The Greek and Cyrillic alphabets was also sometimes employed in the past, but this is rare nowadays. |
 | | At the end of the 17th century, Hebrew was disappearing as the vehicle for Rabbinic instruction. |
