Saluton aliechem!

Absolutely! Here’s a greeting in Ladino:

“Shalom aleikum!” (שָׁלוֹם עֲלֵיכֶם)

This translates to “Peace be with you” in English. Ladino (גֿודֿיאו-איספאנייול‎) is a fascinating Romance language with roots in Old Spanish and Hebrew, spoken primarily by Sephardic Jews. Interestingly, only around 15,000 people still speak Ladino today, predominantly in Turkey and Israel!
