When Jews moved north of the Alps into the Rhineland, they developed Yiddish. Yiddish must have started as a pigeon language mixing Germanic and some French words with a smattering of Hebrew. The Jewish community of this era was literate, and as this language grew from a pigeon language to a creole language, they began to write it down. Later, as Jews moved east into Poland and Russia, a layer of Slavic loan words crept into Yiddish.

Why do Ashkenazim say Shabbes instead of Shabbat?
Different customs in pronunciation of the Hebrew Aleph-bet. Specifically, the letter "Tav"/"Sav" (ת) which is the final letter in Shabbat/Shabbas (שבת) is pronounced like a "T" by Sephardi, Mizrahi, Liberal Jewish, and Israeli communities. It is pronounced like an "S" by Orthodox Ashkenazi communities. The differences in letter pronunciation developed over time as the Hebrew spoken in Europe began to take on more "European-sounding" aspects. A similar example of this trend is that there is a disagreement between Ashkenazim and Mizrahim on how to pronounce the letter "Sadi"/"Tzadi" (צ). Ashkenazi, Sephardi, Liberal Jewish, and Israeli communities all pronounce it as a "ts" sound, which is analogous to the Slavic "c". Mizrahi Jewish communities pronounce the letter as an emphatic "s", which is analogous to the Arabic "sad" (ص). This results in Ashkenazi and Mainstream Jews saying "Matzah" while Mizrahi Jews will say "Masah".

Why and when did Sephardic Jews appear?
As shown by DNA studies, all Jewish communities come from the Middle East originally. Later, during the Middle Ages the Sephardim were the Jewish communities in the Mediterranean area (Spain, North Africa) and points east of it, while the Ashkenazim were to the north in France, Germany, Russia and Eastern Europe. This variety of locales has led to some differences in customs, but not in the Torah-laws themselves.See also:Why_did_the_Diaspora_begin
