摘要
The Yiddish language originated in Ashkenazi culture and is spoken by Ashkenai Jewish who are thought to be the descendants of Rhineland Jews. For years, it was carried to many parts of the world with the migration of these Ashkenazi Jewish and a real version of ups and downs of the people. It was once considered as a dialect of German rather than an independent language, which many scholars of Ashkenazi Jewish origin managed to get rid of. It aims to give a brief introduction to this language and try to trace back its origin and development so as to bring a brief senario of the Ashkenazi Jewish's striving for their identity. Having read and study literatures about this language, a conclusion can be reached that Yiddish language means"the mother tongue of Jewish people"which reflects Jewish cultural life and finally prove its value that it deserved in fields of linguistics and literature through centuries-long wax and wane.
