[edit] language or languages of maghrebim

do the maghrebim speak judeo-arabic? judeo-berber? both?

ok, that's been answered on the article page now... Gringo300 08:59, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Isn't Ladino considered a language of Moroccan Jews?Adam Holland 14:08, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Not exactly. The Ladino that was used in Morocco came from the Jews who came from Spain. There were two or three different Jewish communities in Morocco. The Jews who came from Spain in the Middle Ages and later were considered a different community from the Moroccan Jews who had been there for a longer period of time.--EhavEliyahu 15:29, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, I should have made my question clearer. Since SOME Moroccan Jews were Sephardic (i.e. came there from Spain) and DID spoke Ladino, why not included it in the article alongside the more indigenous languages used by Jews?

[edit] The relationship with the Sunni Muslim majority has suffered in recent years

"The relationship with the Sunni Muslim majority has suffered in recent years". Is this true? Only if you assume it was better to begin with. Jayjg ^(talk) 16:48, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

• It was certainly better to begin with. It went from having ups and downs to being almost untenable for any Jews to remain in these lands. There are a few left in Tunisia, and some in the Spanish possessions of Ceuta and Melilla, I imagine there are a few scattered holdouts elsewhere, but within living memory there were Jews in every city (and some other areas) throughout the Maghreb. -- Jmabel | Talk 06:19, August 5, 2005 (UTC)

Certainly better? That's a pretty bold assertion. From what I can tell, like was generally pretty grim for the Jews there until the European powers took over; then things got much better. Do you have a source for "certainly better"? Jayjg ^(talk) 15:12, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

• Jay, the truth is, I don't care enough about this stub article to fight about it. If you want, just remove the paragraph. Eventually, someone (probably not me) will do the legwork to turn this stub into an article. -- Jmabel | Talk 07:31, August 6, 2005 (UTC)
