Yiddish

Yes, Louis Armstrong was befriended by the Karnofsky family, who were Jewish immigrants in New Orleans. They provided him with work, food, and a place to stay, and it is believed that Armstrong picked up some Yiddish phrases from them during his time with the family.

religious teacher: "REB-beh" or "REB-bee"; (almost always male); (from Hebrew)

secular teacher: "LEHR-air" (male) or "LEHR-air-in" (female); (from German)

צעבראָכן, tsebrokhn (tse-brok-un).

It can vary by region but one way is "Ich bin mid" which is close to the German "Ich bin müde."

Technically no, since Yiddish (though similar to German) is written in the Hebrew alphabet which does not include an X. However, it is commonly transliterated into Roman letters, in which case some words may include an X.

The word for naked in Yiddish is "פּלאָט" (plout).

Schmuck is another Yiddish term that can be used to refer to an idiot.

"גיי צו גײַנום" (gay tsu gaynum) is how you say "go to hell" in Yiddish.

Though Yiddish, which uses Hebrew letters, looks similar when written down to a non-speaker of Yiddish or Hebrew, it is in fact an entirely different language.

Hebrew arose in the Middle East and falls into the Afro-Asiatic Semitic family of languages whereas Yiddish is an Indo-European Germanic language that arose in Germany and Eastern Europe - it is similar to Hochdeutsch, High German, which would have been the everyday language of Jews living in those areas (Hebrew would have been used during worship and rarely by women who were not required to learn it due to the outdated Jewish concept that females are "closer to G-d" and more holy than males), but uses the Hebrew letters with which they were familiar.

As it was spoken by Jews in many different nations, from Russia to Western Europe, is is sometimes called the first international language (others being Esperanto and Volupuk).

Yiddish essentially combined Hebrew alphabet and some words with German words and terms and was used by many of the Ashkenazi Jews of Europe.

Why does English use the Latin alphabet if it's a different language?

Mazldik is the word for lucky when used on its own, and would be inflected to indicate its use as a feminine adjective as mazldike, masculine would be mazldiker. There are other forms for other grammatical cases.

Yes, Yiddish is still in use today, primarily in Orthodox Jewish communities and among Hasidic Jews. It is also used in certain cultural and academic contexts, particularly in the United States, Israel, and parts of Europe.

Yiddish originated in Germany and Eastern Europe, where it was spoken by Ashkenazi Jews from Northern France to Russia. Following widespread immigration to the UK, the USA and other countries, at first to escape localised pogroms and persecution and later to flee from the Nazis, younger Jews began to speak increasingly in the language native to the nations within which they resided. As an example, Yiddish was common amongst British Jews right up until the 1930s but was replaced by English - Hebrew was preserved due to being a holy language, but Yiddish does not have this distinction and since Jews strive to live according to the laws and customs of the land they live in, it soon began to die out. Following the Holocaust, Yiddish was widely discouraged in Israel due in part to its similarity to German and due to the new nation's attempts to unite the many people who migrated there under one tongue - Hebrew. And as the Yiddish secular culture of Central Europe had been essentially destroyed, Yiddish saw massively decreased use, except among conservative groups like the Chasidim, who had little use for the secular elements of the Yiddish culture.

In recent years, Yiddish has undergone something of a revival. This is partly because Chasid and Charedi communities, which tend to be composed of large families, have become the predominant Jewish sects in Western countries - whereas the Jewish population in the UK has been falling for some years, the Charedim are increasing in number. Both of these groups will often speak Yiddish at home, and many children now speak it as their first language. As the world becomes more tolerant, some young Jews from other sects have become keen on displaying the pride they feel in their Jewish culture and roots which has led many to learn Yiddish both in Israel and in the Diaspora - a number of universities now offer Yiddish language courses and many "teach yourself Yiddish" programmes are available. So, although widely thought to be threatened, it seems that Yiddish isn't going to vanish completely just yet.

In Yiddish, the word for "relax" is "רוהן" (rochn).
