From about 300 B.C.E. until the mid-1800s, nobody spoke Hebrew, except as a liturgical language. Yiddish was spoken primarily by Jews in the German, Russian, and Austrian Empires which covered most of Central and Eastern Europe and their descendants. Aramaic is a dead language that was spoken as a lingua franca by the people of the Levant from around 400 B.C.E. to about 300 C.E.
