Siege (plus other 3.5 million Sephardi) gets ready to claim Spanish citizenship

Wow, that ladino sentence is perfectly intelegible to me, didn't knew the language was that close to modern iberian languages.

Both my surnames apear on that list, lol, I believe it might contain around 90% of all Iberian (non basque) surnames.

[Duque de Bragança]

There is a similar law in Portugal. As for the surnames, since force-converting went with giving Christian First names and surnames, there are only some which are dead giveaways of jewish heritage.

Clandestino

Yeah, Ladino is archaic Castilian which itself is closer to Portuguese.

Me neither. But Hernandez and Bolivar (maternal grandmother's last names) don't seem like Sephardic last names, so no surprise there.

For example, imgaine you are a young man (or woman) in a small farming village looking forward to a very circumscribed life of labor in the fields.  All of a sudden these ancient cowboy types show up with their horses and cattle and strange stories from other places.  It isn't hard to imgaine the "best and brightest" of indigenes being drawn to the new cultural system, including the new language as a badge of differentiation.  Of course this is all total speculation.  We really don't know for sure how it happened.

Now I want someone to make The Seven Cavemen.

[Razgovory]

Why would I want the citizenship of a country that chased off my forefathers?

Besides, despite one third of Spaniards being descendant from Sefarad, they are all a bunch of anti-semites, Palestinian-lovers, racists pricks.

Would you happen to know what the big cream colored wedge of Ibiza's pie represents?

I think it is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haplogroup_T-M184

How it got there is anyone's guess.

Also, he gave it only eight minutes. 

[Josquius]

So Spain have decided to take a swing at Britain (I guess English is the most spoken foreign language amongst the concerned group) with an immigrant bomb.
Touche Spain. Touche.

[Tamas]

Has anyone done any genetic testing of current Spaniards to ascertain the different weights of Berber, Vandal, Celt, etc?

It seems to be still dominated by the original Celtiberian inhabitants.

The Huns got Gary?

That most be where the name comes from.

[The Brain]

We're not taking back the Papists we threw out. Just making that clear.
