Do you speak the mama loshon?

Here is an interesting article about yiddish and yiddish culture. Intersting to note:
For the past 1,000 years Yiddish was a kind of sub-culture in the Jewish world, that the Jews always had at least two languages at any given time - Hebrew, the language of prayer and Judaic study, and Yiddish, for everyday conversation.
