Lachoudisch[a] was a dialect ofGerman, containing manyHebrew andYiddish words, native to theBavarian town ofSchopfloch. It was created in the sixteenth century. Few speakers remained afterthe Holocaust, and it went extinct sometime after.
Lachoudisch formed in the 16th century, developing as anargot among several Jewish citizens who found it convenient to trade secrets in a language that non-Jews could not understand.[3] The language spread within the community and eventually some non-Jews knew it too. As the Jewish community of Schopfloch mostly emigrated abroad and the remained were eradicated by 1939, the language entered serious decline, and eventually went extinct.[4]
Lachoudisch contained severalHebrew andYiddishloanwords, many of which reflected the Jewish community's hostility toChristianity and government authority.[4]
