	Zarphatic language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Zarphatic or Judæo-French (Zarphatic: Tsarfatit) is an extinct Jewish language, formerly spoken among the Jewish communities of northern France and in parts of what is now west-central Germany, in such cities as Mainz, Frankfurt-am-Main, and Aachen.
		Some have conjectured that Zarphatic was the original language of the Jews who eventually adopted Old High German, which led to the development of Yiddish.
		One feature of Zarphatic spelling, that sets it apart from most other Indo-European Jewish languages, is that to represent vowel sounds, rather than using Hebrew letters with no matching phonemes in the language, it instead made extensive use of the Tiberian system of nikkudot to indicate the full range of Old French vowels.

	Narbonne, France - Sacred Destinations Travel Guide
		Narbonne subsequently became the capital of the Visigoth province of Septimania until the 8th century.
		In the 11th and 12th centuries, Narbonne was home to an important Jewish exegetical school, which played a pivotal role in the growth and development of the Zarphatic (Judeo-French) and Shuadit (Judeo-Provençal) languages.
		Narbonne fell into decline in the 14th century, partly due to a change in the course of the Aude River – the resulting changes to the coastline meant that the city could no longer serve as a Mediterranean port.
