Looking at that word, you could surely never guess which two languages came together in Yiddish.
Two?! Only two?! I'll leave it to the professionals to tell us how Russian and Polish rank with Hebrew as relative contributors to Yiddish.
OK, so I'm getting more good at writing phrases badly. I know a bit of german, and know that yiddish is closely connected with hebrew/jewish culture, so said two. I didnt know to say out loud that i did not mean they were the only two. Ive never heard of a living language that has only two sources, but from the little bit Ive learned, it seemed like german and hebrew were the two biggest bits of yiddish. I guess that makes me oh for three.
