Essay / Research Paper Abstract
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.

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 (Stavans, 2000). II. THEN AND NOW Four primary components of time comprise
Yiddish, a division linguists say is the languages fundamental progression. This thousand-year development - which originated from the underpinnings of Germanic dialect to a "full-fledged language that incorporated elements
of Hebrew, Aramaic, Slavic languages, and Romance languages" (Shyovitz, 2006) - is surmised to have evolved over certain periods of time that, generally speaking, reflect the most important linguistic changes:
1250, 1500 and 1750 (Shyovitz, 2006). The assemblage in Germany of French and Northern Italian Jews created extensive communities during the turn of the tenth century, an occurrence that was
heretofore nonexistent on the timeline of this particular setting. This is not to say, however, that smaller Jewish populations did not exist in smatterings throughout the area, however, these
modest groups spoke German as their mother tongue. It was only after the arrival of these larger populations infused a French-Jewish dialect into the German-speaking communities. This new
vernacular known as Laaz was quickly incorporated through words and expressions until the dialect became a common presence (Shyovitz, 2006; Anonymous, 1993). Proof exists that Laaz was even integrated into
