Tetuani (orTétouani;Arabic:تطوانى; orHaketia) is a dialect ofJudaeo-Spanish, orIbero-Romance as spoken bySephardic Jews, associated with and historically spoken byTetuani Jews, a mainlySephardic community with ties to the city ofTetuan inMorocco. It containedArabic andHebrew elements.[1]
Spanish as spoken by theJewish community of Tetuan went through a process of re-Hispanisation starting in the 19th century, whereby various linguistic aspects of Haketia were influenced byCastilian Spanish.[1] According to Isaac Guershon, this process was sustained by Jewish merchants' commerce between western Mediterranean cities, especially between Tetuan andGibraltar.[1]
According to Moisés Orfali, by the 1920s, texts published about Haketia could be considered documentation of a dying language.[1] The Asociación Hispanojudía de Tetuan sought to teach 'pure Castilian'.[1]
