Abstract

The use of the Hebrew alphabet in Aljamiado (Hebrew consonant script, but not in Hebrew language) is the natural result of its validity as a sacred alphabet, which—together with lexical, morphological and syntactic Hebraisms—gives non-Hebrew languages an open Jewish appearance. It functions as a cultureme, as a distinctive feature of its relevance to Judaism, as a symbol of an ethnic-religious Jewish community. Until the end of the XIX century, printed Judeospanish texts were predominantly in Hebrew characters called rashi (rabbinic semi-cursive), while manuscripts were written in a flowing cursive script known as solitreo. Around the turn of the XX century, more and more Sephardim in Bulgaria shifted from using the cursive form of Hebrew (solitreo) to being written in Cyrillic alphabet. The Cyrillic alphabet was used for notes and letters, and later increasingly used in printing, especially for religious writings. Today Judeospanish is written in the Latin alphabet and spelt phonetically. The present chapter focuses on the languages of the Bulgarian Sephardim (Judeospanish, Hebrew, Bulgarian) and their writing systems (Rashi, solitreo, Cyrillic and Latin).
