> http://www.uwm.edu/~corre/franca/go.html A fascinating website. I was never aware that "Lingua Franca" was originally the name of a specific language. That this trading language had many Jewish contributions does not surprise me: the Dutch market language also consisted of many Yiddish words and phrases. By the way, it's interesting to note that this website has an edition number and a foreword, like in those old-fashioned paper publications... Thank you for forwarding this!
