What is the history of the Yiddish language?

Hebrew and Aramaic, being the liturgical languages of the Jewish people, left a significant imprint on the Yiddish language. Religious vocabulary, phrases, and expressions were borrowed from these Semitic languages and merged with the Germanic base. Hebrew words and phrases in particular permeated everyday Yiddish, with its influence evident in the domains of religion, law, ethics, and folklore, among others. Similarly, Aramaic words were adopted, particularly from the Babylonian Talmud, a foundational text in Jewish law and tradition.
