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, as well as a discussion of the history of the relevant 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"-- |cProvided by publisher. 650 0 Jews |xLanguages |xHistory. 650 7 Jews |xLanguages. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00983295 655 7 History. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 Kahn, Lily, |eauthor. 776 08 |iOnline version:Rubin, Aaron D., |tJewish languages from a to z |dNew York : Routledge, 2020. |z9781351043441 |w(DLC) 2020014147 910 |cF0603mon |d3110-99 914 (OCoLC)on1152361193 |bOCoLC |cmatch |d20240508 |eprocessed |f1152361193 960 |o1 |zUSD 961 |fDH |m311099 |nPaper 980 |i39.95 982 |cf 984 20211007 |b114056
