Jewish Languages from A to Z provides an engaging and enjoyable
overview of the rich variety of languages spoken and written by
Jews over the past three thousand years. The book covers more than
50 different languages and language varieties. These include not
only well-known Jewish languages like Hebrew, Yiddish, and Ladino,
but also more exotic languages like Chinese, Esperanto, Malayalam,
and Zulu, all of which have a fascinating Jewish story to be told.
Each chapter presents the special features of the language variety
in question, a discussion of the history of the associated Jewish
community, and some examples of literature and other texts produced
in it. The book thus takes readers on a stimulating voyage around
the Jewish world, from ancient Babylonia to 21st-century New York,
via such diverse locations as Tajikistan, South Africa, and the
Caribbean. The chapters are accompanied by numerous full-colour
photographs of the literary treasures produced by Jewish
language-speaking communities, from ancient stone inscriptions to
medieval illuminated manuscripts to contemporary novels and
newspapers. This comprehensive survey of Jewish languages is
designed to be accessible to all readers with an interest in
languages or history, regardless of their background-no prior
knowledge of linguistics or Jewish history is assumed.
