Cool article. So is it safe to say that Ladino is a Spanish-Hebrew hybrid the way Yiddish is a German-Hebrew hybrid? Makes me wonder if there might have been other similar hybrids. French-Hebrew?! Polish-Hebrew?!
In fact there was a French-Hebrew, as mentioned at the end of the article.
“Others currently surviving include Judeo-Aramaic, Judeo-Median, Judeo-Berber, and more, while languages such as Yevanic (Judeo-Greek), Judeo-Italian and Judeo French flourished in the past but have long since disappeared from regular use. “
Looking a little further, I see “French-Hebrew” or Zarphatic was around from the 11th to the 14th c.

I think I’ll start a separate thread for Jewish World languages.
