'''Jewish languages''' are the various [[language]]s and [[dialect]]s that developed in [[Jew]]ish communities in the [[Jewish diaspora|diaspora]]. The original Jewish language is [[Hebrew]], supplanted as the primary vernacular by [[Aramaic]] following the [[Babylonian captivity|Babylonian exile]]. Jewish languages feature a [[syncretism]] of [[Hebrew language|Hebrew]] and [[Judeo-Aramaic languages|Judeo-Aramaic]] with the languages of the local non-Jewish population.
