Yiddish is the "patois" of languages of every European country from France
to Russia that has had any significant Jewish population during the past 600
years, plus a good deal of Hebrew, and in our time some English.
If you had to identify some bedrock framework to which it is most similar, that
would be medieval high German. Even today, a patient, educated German and
a Yiddish speaker can communicate quite effectively, and I make that statement
from personal experience.
