Pardon my ignorance, but I have a question concerning use of Latino by Spanish and Portuguese Nation in Amsterdam. People of S&P community were New Christians who returned to Judaism in 17th Century. From the 15th and through 17th Centuries, they were Christians and lived amongst the Christian population of Spain and Portugal. So they spoke the language of their respective countries. 200 years is a long time not to lose Ladino. Eastern Sephardim stayed in a closed communiy and their use of Ladino is undersandble. But the circuimstances in the Dutch Republic were different.So, how prevalent was Ladino in Amsterdam's S&P Nation?
