Yiddish Isn't the Only Jewish Language....There are at Least Five Others

You might know about Yiddish, but have you come across other Jewish languages like Ladino, Aramaic, Judeo-Persian, Judeo-Arabic, and several more that are spoken across the Diaspora and Israel? 

It's true that all Jews connect through the same religion, culture, and history, but it doesn't mean they all speak the same "Jewish" languages (we're pretty sure there are at least 5 Jewish languages you've never even heard of). 

Throughout history, Jewish communities have made their mark all over the world, and their languages reflect the cultures they've interacted with. Take Yiddish for example, which originated in medieval Germany, or Ladino, shaped by Sephardic Jews after they were expelled from Spain, or the variety of Judeo-Arabic dialects. These languages aren't just about communication—they offer a unique window into a diverse linguistic heritage that's been evolving for centuries.

Unpacked, a division of Open Dor Media, has posted an interesting video about these Jewish languages. We found it informative and want to share it with you.

Enjoy!
