We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually
best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is
then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was
instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we
would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate.

In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it
is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have
taken the trouble to respond to the query.

I am member of a musical ensemble which is planning to perform one or more
Ladino (Judeo-Spanish) songs. I have found some material on the Internet
about basic Ladino phonology -- phonemes and a few processes -- but would
like to know a little more about processes. For instance, does Ladino have
the intervocalic spirantization that Modern Spanish has? Are /t, d, n/
dental or alveolar?

I will be coaching the group on correct pronunciation for the songs. Any
help will be greatly appreciated.
