Descent (at least culturally) from the Jews of the Rhineland during the early second millennium. This Jewish community spoke Yiddish (a Germanic language with a heavy infusion of Hebrew and some Old French words -- it picked up Slavic words as the Ashkenazic community migrated east into Poland and Russia). Ashkenazic Hebrew diverged from Sephardic (Spanish) and Mizrachi (Baghdadi) Hebrew, shifting some "a"s into "o"s and shifted some "th" and "t"s into "s"s. A distinctive Ashkenazi liturgy emerged, along with the tradition of classifying legumes as grains for the purpose of Passover dietary laws.
