he system of writing of the emblematic publication Aki Yerushalayim founded and directed by Moshe Shaul from Jerusalem has been a inicitiva that allowed to communicate inclusively in judeoespañol with a system of simple and accessible writing for the common one of people using a computer with a keyboard traditional or nationalized by country using alfabétcio Romanesque (letters from a to the Z)

This system was and is very discussed since it throws by earth the academic and historical systems of escrituar, nevertheless, must balance this ' sacrifice académico' by the possibility of maintaining a language alive that of another form possibly was still more in risk of disappearing.
  • NEVER USE  Q, W, C  (except for names).
    (The X only for words like exodus, exilo, etc.)

  • The 'C' with the sound like (s), must use S, and if sound as (k), use K.
