- Paradesi Jews were Jewish people who immigrated to the Indian subcontinent during the 15th and 16th centuries following the expulsion of Jews from Spain. Paradesi refers to the Malayalam word that means foreign as they were newcomers. These Sephardic (from Spain and Portugal) immigrants fled forced conversion, persecution and antisemitism in the wake of the Alhambra Decree expelling Jews from Spain, and King Manuel's 1496 decree expelling Jews from Portugal. They are sometimes referred to as "White Jews", although that usage is generally considered pejorative or discriminatory and refers to relatively recent Jewish immigrants (end of the 15th century onward), predominantly Sephardim. During the 18th and 19th centuries Paradesi Jews were Sephardi immigrants to the Indian subcontinent from Jewish exodus from Arab and Muslim countries who fled forced conversion, persecution and antisemitism. The Paradesi Jews of Cochin traded in spices. They are a community of Sephardic Jews settled among the larger Cochin Jewish community located in Kerala, a coastal southern state of India. Paradesi Jews of Madras (now Chennai) traded in Golconda diamonds, precious stones and corals. They had very good relations with the rulers of Golkonda, because they maintained trade connections to some foreign countries (e.g. Ottoman empire, Europe), and their language skills were useful. Although the Sephardim spoke Ladino (i.e. Judeo-Spanish), in India they learned Tamil and Konkani as well as Judeo-Malayalam from the Cochin Jews, also known as Malabar Jews. After India gained its independence in 1947 and Israel was established as a nation, most of the Malabar Jews made Aliyah and emigrated from Kerala to Israel in the mid-1950s. In contrast, most of the Paradesi Jews preferred to migrate to Australia and other Commonwealth countries, similar to the choices made by Anglo-Indians. (en)
- パラデシーム（Paradesim）とは、1492年のスペイン追放以降、南部インドのケララに移住したセファルディムやミズラヒムの呼称。それ以前からケララに住んでいたコーチン・ユダヤ人が"黒いユダヤ人"と呼ばれたのに対して、"白いユダヤ人"と軽蔑的に呼ばれた。 パラデシームの本来の言語はラディーノ語（ユダヤ・スペイン語）だった。彼らのラディーノは、コーチン・ユダヤ人の言語であるユダヤ・マラヤラム語に多数の借用語を提供した。 (ja)
