Answer
Judaeo-Slavic is a linguistic group associated with Yiddish, as proposed by Wexler. This group encompasses languages that have been influenced by both Slavic and Jewish languages, resulting in a unique blend of linguistic features. Yiddish, in particular, is a Germanic language that has been heavily influenced by Slavic languages, especially Polish, Ukrainian, and Belarusian, during its development in Eastern Europe.
