Judaeo-Romance languages are Jewish languages derived from Romance languages, spoken by various Jewish communities originating in regions where Romance languages predominate and altered enough to gain recognition as languages in their own right. The status of many Judaeo-Romance languages is controversial, since despite manuscripts preserving transcriptions of Romance languages in the Hebrew alphabet, there is often little or no evidence that these dialects were actually spoken by Jews living in the various European nations named for them.
