The Askenazim are the Jews who descend from the Jews in medieval Germany who migrated into central and eventually eastern Europe. The Yiddish word for Germany was Askenaz.

The secular language of the Ashkenazim was Yiddish, a medieval form of German, mixed with Hebrew, and later also with Slavic words, that was written with Hebrew characters.
