PL
Tekst opisuje najważniejsze aspekty języków, jakimi posługiwali się Żydzi sefardyjscy, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem judeo-hiszpańskiego oraz ladino. Cechy i etymologia języków, jak i subtelne różnice między nimi zostały ukazane na przykładach najważniejszych tekstów literackich, takich jak: Proverbios morales Santoba de Carrión, Regimiento de la vida rabiego Moshé Almosnino, Libro de mantenimiento de la alma Josepha Qaro, Dialoghi di Amore Guedaliá Ibn Yahiá, Pentateuco, Psalmy w tłumaczeniu Abrahama Asy czy Edykt z Alhambry o wygnaniu Żydów z 1492 roku.

The aim of this work is to describe the most relevant features of the languages spoken by the Sephardic Jews, focusing on Judeo-Spanish and Ladino. These two languages have been treated as a single language, even though Judeo-Spanish was a day-to-day communication language, and Ladino a calque-language used to translate religious texts from Hebrew during the 16th and 17th centuries. A brief overview of Sephardim historical background is necessary in order to understand who the Sephardim are, the development of their language and literature, and to discuss anything related to them.
