Jewish English languages

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jewish English languages are varieties of English that include significant amounts of vocabulary and syntax taken from Yiddish, and both classical and modern Hebrew. They are typified by Yeshivish and Yinglish, as well as more flexible mixtures of English and other Jewish languages, which may contain elements from languages other than those already mentioned.

The classification Jewish English eliminates need for concern with correctly recognizing the specific origin of the non-English components of any such variant. This offsets, for example, misperceptions that can result from failure to note the Hebrew origin of a word that may have became widely known in anglophone contexts via Yiddish, and is therefore simply regarded as Yiddish. (This problem is illustrated in the list of English words of Yiddish origin.)
