I mean, plenty of people still speak Yiddish, and Hebrew was revived for Israel.

The rabbi at my high school spoke Ladino. There are Ladino speakers out there, you just have to know where to look.

Some members of my family speak Ladino. And some speak Arabic, though I am not sure if it is Judeo-Arabic, per se.

There was a lecture at Rothberg recently given by someone in Judeo-Arabic. And I think a few people actually went.
