Catalanic, also called Judæo-Catalan, is the Jewish language once spoken by the Jewish communities of northeastern Spain, especially in Catalonia and the Balearic Islands. Linguistically, it shared many features in common with early Shuadit (Judæo-Provençal), although historically, ethnically and politically, the Catalanic-speaking community was long distinct from the Shuadit-speaking community, mostly as a result of the Moorish occupation of Spain. Today, Catalanic is an extinct language, surviving only vestigially in the speech of Crypto-Jews in northeastern Spain and the Balearic Islands. In most respects, in the speech of the Bnei Anusim and their fellow Jews, except for Hebrew loanwords, there is little to distinguish their speech from the Catalan or Spanish spoken by their non-Jewish neighbors.
