This talk will explore the current state of Jewish languages, including the thriving use of Yiddish in Hasidic communities and the endangerment of languages like Ladino, Judeo-Arabic, Jewish Neo-Aramaic, and Jewish Malayalam. The presentation will also discuss the emergence of new Jewish language varieties and the importance of documentation and reclamation efforts.
