Yiddishn.adj.

Brit.

/ˈjɪdɪʃ/, U.S.

/ˈjɪdɪʃ/

Origin: A borrowing from Yiddish. Etymon: Yiddish yidish.

Etymology: < Yiddish yidish (adjective) Jewish, also Yiddish, (noun) the Yiddish language < Middle High German jüdisch Jewish (see Judeish adj. and n.), in the specific use with reference to the language more fully Middle High German jüdischdiutsch (German jüdischdeutsch , literally ‘Jewish-German’; < jüdisch + diutsch German: see Dutch adj.).Yiddish-speakers in medieval and early modern Europe called their vernacular taytsh ( < German deutsch), literally ‘German’. The English name of the vernacular language was reborrowed into German as jiddisch (1909), where it coexisted at first with jüdischdeutsch (adjective), Jüdischdeutsch (noun). Solomon A. Birnbaum's Praktische Grammatik der jiddischen Sprache (1918) contributed to the spread of jiddisch (adjective) and Jiddisch (noun) as the now usual name of the language in German, while in English, A. Harkavy's Yiddish-English Dictionary (1898) was influential.

A. n.

A vernacular language used by Jewish people in or from central or eastern Europe which is based chiefly on High German, has many words borrowed from Hebrew and the Slavonic languages, and is written using Hebrew characters.Yiddish is usually considered a Germanic language. It has two main varieties: Western and Eastern Yiddish. The Western variety, historically spoken in western and central parts of Central Europe (chiefly in Germany), is now nearly extinct; even just before the Holocaust it was spoken by only about 10,000 people, whereas Eastern Yiddish numbered several millions of speakers.
