There is no such people as "Yiddish people", and no such country.
Yiddish is a language ... the "patois" of languages of every eastern European country
with any significant Jewish population during the past 600 years, plus Hebrew, plus
Aramaic, and most recently, plus English.
Dormant for a while after the great Jewish migrations of the early 20th Century
and the mass exterminations of the 1930s and 40s, it's experiencing a resurgence
today, since the "Final Solution" itself proved to be the main problem, and failed.

Yiddish-speaking people historically lived in various countries in Eastern Europe, including Poland, Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus. However, Yiddish-speaking communities have also existed in other parts of the world due to migration and diaspora, particularly in the United States and Israel. Therefore, there is no specific country associated with Yiddish-speaking people.
