Yiddish developed as a fusion of Hebrew, Slavic languages, Romance language and Aramaic with German dialects. Origin of Yiddish can be traced back to the 10th century Ashkenazi culture in Rhineland which eventually spread to eastern and central Europe.

Hebrew is used for the writing system of Yiddish and its Jewish-related vocabulary words.

Why do yiddish people put schm- in front of a word?

The people who put schm- in front of a word are not the Yiddish speakers. They are generally those non-Yiddish speakers who are at the same time intellectually challenged and trying to effect their impression of Yiddish speakers, often for comic effect. They usually come off as crude and in poor taste. They also typically develop instantaneous linguistic amnesia regarding smack, smell, smoke, smog, smooth, smooch, smother, smoulder, smudge, smuggle, smug, smurf, and smut, none of which are Yiddish words, not to mention smegma, which is a totally non-Yiddish problem.
