In Yiddish and German, and this neighborhood is not accidental.

[Yiddish (יידיש, אידיש or ייִדיש; Yiddish or yidish — literally: "Jewish") — the Jewish language of the German group, historically the primary language of the Ashkenazi Jews.

Yiddish originated in Central and Eastern Europe in the X—XIV centuries on the basis of middle high German dialects with extensive borrowings from Hebrew and Aramaic (up to 15-20% of the vocabulary) and (in the Eastern branch) Slavic (in dialects up to 15 %) languages, and later — from modern German. The fusion of languages gave rise to an original grammar that allows combining words with Semitic and Slavic roots and syntactic elements of Germanic languages.

The oldest surviving text from 1272 contains a specific Hebrew vocabulary characteristic of the modern language. It is assumed that the Germanic dialects of the Jews differed to some extent from the dialects of German Christians already in the X-XII centuries, but the lack of preserved written sources, in addition to individual glosses, does not allow us to reliably reconstruct the early "proto-Yiddish". In the XV century, Yiddish became a separate dialect space from German.

Since the middle Ages, Yiddish has been the spoken language of European Jews. Thanks to Hasidism and Gaskale, religious, educational, and artistic literature in Yiddish appears, developing in parallel with Hebrew literature. Yiddish reached its peak in the early twentieth century.]
