ucLADINO is a student-run organization at the University of California, Los Angeles, dedicated to promoting the knowledge and use of the Judeo- Spanish language(s). Judeo-Spanish evolved in the Ottoman Empire and North Africa, among other regions, after the expulsion of the Sephardim from the Iberian Peninsula. Today, it demonstrates the influence of many languages, including Hebrew, Arabic, Turkish, Greek, French, and Italian. Because Los Angeles is home to the second largest Sephardic community in the United States, ucLADINO is able to draw from rich local resources and collaborate with community members on weekly workshops and special events.
