Scripts, religion, and ideology
Religion often determines the choice of alphabets. So do other ideological factors that have impact on religious ones—such as nationalism and Marxism. Opposition to the influence of religion led Mustafa Kemal Atatürk to switch the spelling of Turkish and Judeo-Spanish from Arabic and Hebrew letters to Latin characters. Nationalism led Romania to switch from the Cyrillic alphabet to Latin characters. Marxist regimes did not switch alphabets and wr…
From Judeo-Provençal to Judeo-Piedmontese and Western Yiddish
When Jews were expelled from southern France and went to northern Italy and southern Germany, they lost their language and learned Judeo-Piedmontese and Western Yiddish. However, there are features of these languages that suggest a Shuadit substratum. Jews were expelled from France in the fourteenth century and from Provence in the fifteenth. In Shuadit, the Hebrew letter ד is pronounced [z] medially and finally, reflecting a parallel change in P…

The language was traditionally written in the Hebrew alphabet but today is written in Latin letters.Xiao’erjing i…
Stability and instability among Jewish languages and alphabets
Jewish languages, except for Hebrew, are varieties of other languages but have independent standard versions and independent dialect systems. They are typically written in the Hebrew alphabet. I would like to suggest that when the official language of a country is the same as the coterritorial spoken language, Jewish language shift takes place.There was a shift from Aramaic to Greek or Judeo-Greek in the eastern Mediterranean in the early days of…

Bilingualism and Dialect Mixture among Lubavitcher Hasidic Children
H ASIISM (from Hebrew hasid, 'pious') is a pietist movement that spread through the Jewish communities of Eastern Europe during the eighteenth century. The Hasidim (adherents to Hasidism) are organized into tightly knit groups each centered on a highly respected rabbi, who is generally known by the name of the town in which he lives. There have been seven Lubavitcher rabbis since Hasidism appeared in Belorussia, although only four of them (the se…
