How Yiddish and English compare

Different writing systems

Yiddish uses Hebrew while English uses Latin. Because the two do not share an alphabet, translated output cannot be sounded out from the original spelling — copy the result directly rather than trying to transcribe it. Yiddish reads right-to-left while English reads left-to-right, so the direction of the text flips during translation.

Related languages

Both Yiddish and English belong to the Indo-European language family. Related languages tend to share vocabulary roots and comparable sentence structure, which generally makes machine translation between them more reliable — though false friends, words that look alike but mean different things, are also more common between relatives.

Speakers

Yiddish: Approximately 600,000-1.5 million speakers worldwide, primarily in Orthodox Jewish communities in Israel, US, and elsewhere. English: Approximately 1.5 billion people speak English to varying degrees of proficiency, with around 360 million native speakers.
