Most Orthodox Jews used to speak Yiddish. It was primarily spoken in Europe,

but it was also spoken in other countries. Today, it is spoken by some Jews.

Many Rabbis and older Jews speak Yiddish.

Yiddish is the "Patois" of languages of every eastern European country with any

significant Jewish population during the past 600 years. Dormant for a while

after the great Jewish migrations of the early 20th Century and the mass

exterminations of the 1930s and 40s, it's experiencing a resurgence today.
