No. They are completely different, and unrelated languages, just like English and Chinese.


Hebrew is in the Afro-Asiatic family and Greek is in the Indo-European Group.

No. Hebrew is a Semitic language from the Afro-Asiatic language family. Yiddish is a dialect of Middle High German. The only similarity is that Yiddish is written with a modified version of the Hebrew alphabet, and has many loan-words from Hebrew.
