Yiddish is a Saxo-Syzkynic language spoken by a minority in Araçana. Much of the language's history is currently unagreed upon, but it shows clear influence from the Mary-Moldovan languages and from Hebrew. Yiddish has multiple standardized forms, including the one used by Araçana's Xeçha University and the recently discovered Inter-Dimensional YIVO Yiddish.
Phonology and Writing
Yiddish is traditionally written with an alphabetic adaptation of the Hebrew abjad. Additionally, standards for writing using the Latin and Xudha alphabets have been developed in Araçana, as detailed below. Note that these are based on the dialect spoken there specifically.
