Haketya is the Judeo-Spanish language of northern Morocco and the Oran region. It is an essential part of Moroccan Jewish identity and a sign of their openness to the cultures of the different countries that welcomed them. It is based on pre-1492 Spanish with influences from modern Spanish, Arabic and Hebrew, including Portuguese, Berber and some English words.
Line Amselem, professor at the Université Polytechnique Hauts de France, will speak on the history of this language, which unfortunately today has very few speakers, scattered all over the world.
