The Jewish languages are a set of
languages that developed in various
Jewish communities around the world, more notably in
Europe,
West Asia, and
North Africa. The usual course of development for these languages was through the addition of
Hebrew words and phrases, used to express uniquely Jewish concepts and concerns, to the local vernacular. Due to the insular nature of many Jewish communities, many Jewish languages retain vocabulary and linguistic structures long after they have been lost or changed in later forms of the language from which they are descended.
