Viki Diler talks about the causes of language shift in Judeo-Spanish of Istanbul

VLACH ID-number: ladi1251TRV0049a

Description:
In this interview fragment, Viki Diler speaks very honestly and candidly about the historical causes that led to a radical change in attitude towards the Judeo-Spanish language. Viki’s family belongs to a dwindling number of resilient families who continued to speak Judeo-Spanish at home despite the fear which sprang from the "Citizen Speak Turkish!" campaign initiated in the 1930s. Additionally, Viki lends us a perspective into the role Judeo-Spanish has played in forming her identity.
