what is the relevance of that. The main languages of Israel is Hebrew and Arabic with Hebrew being the most spoken and the official language. At one stage Yiddish was banned for certain activities I believe yiddish is a language that reflects multiple languages but with a Germanic and Hebrew and Aramaic core. If you understand migration patterns - largely the result of having to constantly move to find safe haven - Yiddish makes sense there is no settled debate about either the origin of the term Ashkenazi or of Yiddish. This is one source and one could quote plenty of other sources. But try reading the whole paper without bias. If you want to run that line you are talking about Iranian heritage (or is it Turkic ?) and it talks about Scythian. Get a grip ….. go and read about scythians as to inventing a secret trading language and that becoming the main language of a group of European Jews - he writes a good story but that is a hypothesis and not proven in the paper I could spend time trying to help you read the multiplicity of attempts to explain where ashkenazi came from and the origins of Yiddish. A bit of linguistic analysis which is what other papers do as well doesn’t back any sort of Slavic origin. for some reason I have in my head that you come from Eastern Europe and if that’s the case try reading Yiddish. I can make more sense of it with my German than I can with Russian. How about you ?

Ashkenaz.” These findings were compatible with the hypothesis of an Irano-Turko-Slavic origin for AJs and a Slavic origin for Yiddish and at odds with the Rhineland hypothesis advocating a Levantine origin for AJs and German origins for Yiddish. Just responding to a poster demographic percentage. As years go by Israel is becoming more Slavic …it naturally happening generticall due to the immigrants!
