ESSAY ON: Yiddish

Number of Pages 12

This research paper: 12 pages in length. Ten centuries worth of man's timeline has historically been dedicated to Yiddish, the singular language spoken by Ashkenazi Jews. Encompassing myriad time periods and people who were drawn into its linguistic pull, Yiddish was not merely spoken by people who communed in nearby communities or common nationalities but also by Jews worldwide who – by the millions – embraced it as their own. The rollercoaster ride of existence Yiddish has experienced is nothing short of remarkable, inasmuch as it went from globally recognized and spoken to virtually nonexistent in a matter of six years during the Holocaust; only by virtue of stalwart dedication to its imprint upon Jewish history was it once again resurrected to hold a place within the contemporary global society, clearly illustrating that although it is a diminishing language, Yiddish is a very important factor in Jewish history. Bibliography lists 12 sources.
