        I was just trying to make a joke about a different language that was also written with the Hebrew script. Turns out it sounds terrible.

          Oh vey, what a shonda…

          Real talk though, that’s honestly quite fascinating, isn’t it. Yiddish is a Germanic language while Hebrew is Semitic. Those are two entirely different language families, yet both languages use the same letters.

          Also, Finnish and Hungarian belong to a common family even though they read and sound entirely different and have little cultural and no geographic overlap.
