Creating an online Ladino dictionary

When in 1492 the Jews were expelled from Spain and later also from Portugal many of them found new home on Morocco and in various places in the Ottoman empire. In areas of modern-day Turkey, Greece and the Balkans.

Though they had to leave their country they kept their language and further developed it.

This is what we call Ladino (or Judeo-Espanyol, or Espanyolit) today.
The version that was used in Morocco is called Haketia.
The descendants of these Jews are called Sephardic Jews.

It has many similarities to modern Spanish - after all they have the same roots - but it also has a lot of words from Turkish, Greek, French, Italian, Arabic, and of course Hebrew.

What it does not have is a comprehensive free online dictionary.

In this talk I'll show you how I used, Python, JavaScript, Bulma, and GitHub (Actions and Pages) to create one.
