udeo-Greek (also called Yevanic) is the variety of Greek long retained by the Romaniote Jewish community in and around the town of Ioannina in western Greece. While there is little documentation about this variety and apparently no remaining speakers, there are still thousands of members of the Ioannina community living in and around New York, who may remember some words. The symbolic heart of the community remains Kehila Kedosha Janina, built in 1927 on the Lower East Side and known as only Romaniote synagogue in the Western hemisphere. Romaniote Jews additionally clustered and established synagogues, in which Ladino-speaking Jews from Greece often also participated, in Harlem, Brooklyn, and the Bronx.
