To speakers of Hebrew and Yiddish, non-Jews are referred to politely as "Goyim".

The word is Hebrew, and means "nations". Since the People of Israel are one nation, it would follow that any non-Jew would be of the "Other Nations".

To speakers of English, non-Jews are referred to as "non-Jews" or "Gentiles".

The word is English, and means "those who are not Jews".
