Özet
The Sephardic Jews of the Ottoman Empire developed a Judeo-Spanish koine by getting in touch with other languages - particularly Turkish - as a means of interaction between different cultures. This paper aims to focus on the linguistic multiculturalism - specifically loanwords - employed in the book Yildiz i sus sekretos: el reyno de Abdul Hamid (Yildiz [Palace] and Its Secrets: The Kingdom of Abdulhamit). The book was published in Istanbul in 1909 by Izak Gabay, one of the most important Sephardic intellectuals of the time.
