Hebrew עִבְרִית, Ivrit, is a Semitic language of the Afro-Asiatic language family. It's closest relatives are Aramaic and Arabic. In its modern form it is spoken by most of the seven million people in Israel while Classical Hebrew has been used for prayer or study in Jewish communities around the world for over two thousand years. It is one of the official languages of Israel, along with Arabic. Ancient Hebrew is also the liturgical tongue of the Samaritans, while modern Hebrew or Palestinian Arabic is their vernacular, though today about 700 Samaritans remain. As a foreign language it is studied mostly by Jews and students of Judaism and Israel.
Yiddish יִידיש , is the "Patois" of languages of every eastern European country that has had any significant Jewish population during the past 600 years. It is a dialect of Low German that is written with the Hebrew Alphabet, and includes many loan words from Hebrew, French, Polish, and Russian, and in modern times has acquired elements of English.
