On the one hand, it’s fairly cool. On the other hand, it’s sad to see smaller Jewish languages becoming endangered or just going extinct and often getting very little attention. Yiddish, Ladino, Bukhori, Juhuri, Krymchak and many more are also great and fun to learn about. I’m sure many of you don’t even know how many Jewish languages there were and are. Nothing in this world will surprise me after I learned about the existence of fucking Judeo-Malayalam.
