Hardy...sorry to disagree,but Yiddish did not come from Poland. Yiddish is
based on Middle-Ages german,with lots of additions from Hebrew and bits of
language from the local population. I have read of a current bit of research
into Medieval German which is looking into Yiddish to get some of it's
results. Cornel

Subject: [Cz-L] Our Origin
We are now some 20 posts down the road.
Are we any wiser now ?
The more I read , the less I know.
Historians pretend that East European Jews came directly from
Palestine from around the Black sea through Cappadokia Khasaria
and the Balkans to Dacia. They spoke Greek and other acquired speech.
The old Bukovinean jewish settlers were very small in numbers,
Yiddish came much later from Poland with the mass influx .
The old timers were absorbed leaving no trace.
Including Spaniards lost in the Carpathians.
Having successfully clarified this riddle we move on ...
