We already know Yiddish is a Ashkenazi Jewish language.

I'll just point out that Ashkenaz means Germany, and Sephard means Spain (in Hebrew). So Ashkenazi and Sephardi is literally a question of heritage - are your ancestors from Germany or Spain. The Ashkenazis developed Yiddish from German and Hebrew, and the Sephardis developed Ladino from Spanish and Hebrew.

The Sephardim Equivalent to Yiddish would be Ladino

Sephardic Jews have their own international language: Ladino, which was based on Spanish and Hebrew in the same way that Yiddish was based on German and Hebrew.
Sephardic Jews have a different pronunciation of a few Hebrew vowels and one Hebrew consonant, though most Ashkenazim are adopting Sephardic pronunciation now because it is the pronunciation used in Israel.

It's called "Ladino" and it's a mixture between hebrew and Spanish. The word "Sefarad" in Hebrew actually means "Spain", even though Sepharadic Jews also come from Turkey.

Are you thinking of 'Ladino" which is not from Hebrew but Latin-based Spanish?
