	abstract = {Today, people who still have some knowledge of Judaeo-Spanish are scattered\&nbsp;around the world with virtually no social ties among them, and Judaeo-Spanish itself\&nbsp;lacks any official status. The speaking population of all countries barely exceeds one\&nbsp;hundred thousand, most of them being speakers with limited competence. Prior to\&nbsp;World War I, however, Judaeo-Spanish played a major role in defining Sephardic identity.\&nbsp;Developed in different cities of the Ottoman Empire and Northern Africa during the<br>two centuries following the settlement of the expellees from the Iberian Peninsula in\&nbsp;the late 15th century, Judaeo-Spanish arose as a pluricentric language, due to the different\&nbsp;mix of contributing dialects in each community. Behind its apparent polymorphism,\&nbsp;a dialect continuum {\textendash} one that integrates three major regional dialects {\textendash} and a range\&nbsp;of social variation can be discerned.},
