Abstract:

Editor’s Note: This is a new edition of a previously announced book.

This 'Handbook of Jewish Languages' is an introduction to the many languages
used by Jews throughout history, including Yiddish, Judezmo (Ladino) , and
Jewish varieties of Amharic, Arabic, Aramaic, Berber, English, French,
Georgian, Greek, Hungarian, Iranian, Italian, Latin American Spanish,
Malayalam, Occitan (Provençal), Portuguese, Russian, Swedish, Syriac, Turkic
(Karaim and Krymchak), Turkish, and more. Chapters include historical and
linguistic descriptions of each language, an overview of primary and secondary
literature, and comprehensive bibliographies to aid further research. Many
chapters also contain sample texts and images. This book is an unparalleled
resource for anyone interested in Jewish languages, and will also be very
useful for historical linguists, dialectologists, and scholars and students of
minority or endangered languages. This paperback edition has been updated to
include dozens of additional bibliographic references.
