Jews in Germany and Austria, before WW2, spoke German. Most Jews in other parts of Central and Eastern Europe, and some in Western Europe as well, spoke Yiddish, a language derived from an older form of German, with many Hebrew and Slavic loan words. German is written in a variant of the Latin Alphabet. Yiddish is written in the Hebrew Alphabet. Many Jews living in other parts of the world, who had migrated from central and Eastern Europe, also spoke German or Yiddish as well as the languages of their new countries. On the other hand, Jews with long roots outside that region did not speak Yiddish. Jews in the Mediterranean world descended from the Spanish expulsion in 1492 often spoke, and still speak, an old form of Spanish written with Hebrew characters called Ladino. And Jews in the Arab lands had Arabic, sometimes written with Hebrew characters.
