>>508732596>semites are a language groupNot quite, but there is a language group called semetic. Semites are a broad racial grouping, as derived from Shem, son of Noah.
But Iโm glad you bring up semetic languages. Yiddish is not one of them. None of you people originally spoke Hebrew. Thereโs not even the faintest vestige of Hebrew in Yiddish. Yiddish, though Slavic in structure and grammar, is a slop-bucket language. So many words from so many languages grafted into it over time. Itโs a dirty and crude language, discordant and rancorous to the ear. Its main purpose is to deceive. It perfectly matches the character of the people who developed it.
There were some Hebrew words added many centuries after the languages origin, but they were just Yiddish renderings of Hebrew approximations.
Interestingly, Gaelic is actually pretty close to ancient Hebrew. Thatโs weird, donโt you think?
