The maps below represent the diversity of Jewish languages around the world and across time. The colorful world map highlights the locations of each of the featured Jewish languages, while the interactive maps below spotlight particular frameworks through which to view Jewish languages - for example, the contributions of women specifically.

 

Though the maps seem very precise, the reality is actually more complicated. Some areas of the world have been home to several Jewish languages (e.g., Judeo-Berber, Haketía, Judeo-Arabic, and Jewish French in Morocco;  Judeo-Slavic, Yiddish, and Jewish Russian in some Slavic lands), and some languages have been dispersed around multiple locations across the world. In order to represent all periods of history in one map, each area includes only one language and does not present information on variation, chronology, bilingualism, etc.​​
