Shephardic Jews speak a Latinized Spanish called Ladino. These were Jews of Spanish origin in 1492 when they were kicked out of Spain by the powers that be for not becoming Catholic. Many went to Sicily and Turkey. I don't know if any went to Alsace or Lorraine, given all the problems the French gave the Hugonots. Maybe they went to Germany, lots of Jews there until WWII.

I know some ended up in the Caribbean, and from there to America. Many also fled to Holland. The Sephardic population in Germany by WW II was very tiny overall, but many were killed in the Holocaust.
