Yiddish is a Germanic language that is spoken by Ashkenazi Jews. Native speakers typically come from Eastern and Central European countries like Russia, Ukraine, Poland, and the Baltics. The language dropped greatly in usage following the Holocaust, when many Jews were killed. Today, few native speakers of Yiddish remain, although it is used in some Orthodox Jewish communities and is as a subject at some schools and universities.
