Ladino-Spanish Lexical Resources is a collection of four lexical files for Ladino (Judeo-Spanish) and Spanish, compiled by Col·lectivaT and the Sephardic Center of Istanbul for use in a rule-based Spanish-to-Ladino machine translation system. The files include a Spanish–Ladino phrase dictionary (136 entries) digitized from the printed dictionary "Diksionaryo de Ladino a Espanyol" by Güler, Portal i Tinoco, a Spanish–Ladino word list (3,884 entries), a list of irregular Spanish verbs (1,299 entries), and a Spanish–Ladino conjugated verb pairs list (2,379 entries). All files are plain text with semicolon-separated pairs. The resources were created as part of the project "Judeo-Spanish: Connecting the two ends of the Mediterranean", funded by the European Union and the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of the Republic of Turkey under the CCH-II grant scheme.
