In ancient times, Jews spoke Hebrew. From about 250 BCE to about 200 CE, the main language of the Jews was Aramaic. Since then, Jews have migrated to almost every country in the world, and they speak the local languages of the regions they live in.

Today, most Jews speak English as their native language or as a second language. Hebrew is the second most spoken language among Jews.
