Abstract:

This book offers sociological and structural descriptions of language
varieties used in over 2 dozen Jewish communities around the world, along with
synthesizing and theoretical chapters. Language descriptions focus on
historical development, contemporary use, regional and social variation,
structural features, and Hebrew/Aramaic loanwords. The book covers commonly
researched language varieties, like Yiddish, Judeo-Spanish, and Judeo-Arabic,
as well as less commonly researched ones, like Judeo-Tat, Jewish Swedish, and
Hebraized Amharic in Israel today.
