yiddish

A Germanic language invented by Jews in Germany. After being blamed for the black death, the Jews were forced out of Germany, spreading through Eastern Europe and taking their middle-high period German language with them and mixing in a few Hebrew words, such as:
Ganif (thief) from Hebrew (Ganav)
Shikker (drunk) from Hebrew (Shikur)
Mishpoyche (family) from Hebrew (Mishpacha)
etc.
The language is written, curiously enough, using the Hebrew alphabet. As it once almost completely resembled German, the language evolved in Germany while the Jews were somewhere else, and therefore the language is still basically middle-high German.
Yiddish was the mother tongue of millions people before the Holocaust

Yiddish: "Kaynen di forshtaysen Yiddish?"

English: "can you understand Yiddish?"

German: "Koennen Sie Deutsche Sprechen?"

Yiddish

Largely European language of the Jewish population. Based on an amalgum of German syntax and grammar, with vocabulary from German and Hebrew, transcribed in the Hebrew alphabet, with loan words from many other Central and Eastern European languages (Czech, Magyar, Russian, Slovak, Polish).

"She spoke Yiddish in the kitchen, Ladino in the office, and softly in bed."

Example of Yiddish: "Oi vai!" (Literally "Oh, pain!" or "Oh, woe").

Yiddish

I find it hilarious that person number two is going on and on about how much Yiddish he knows, and then calls himself a goyem. Goyem is the plural form. I would call him an idiot, but fact remains that he isn't an idiot--Just a goy :P

My Spanish is so goood. Yo nadar a el playa, y mis gustan las lirbos!
