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.
