Yiddish; Yinglish. Yiddish, which has contributed many words and expressions to English, is an entirely separate lan- guage from Hebrew. The word Yiddish is an Anglicized form of the German word judisch, “Jewish,” referring to a Jewish- German language. Yiddish therefore is an Indo-European lan- guage like German and English. Hebrew belongs to the Semitic language family, as does Arabic. Yinglish is a blending of Yid- dish and English to make a word. |
