Why haven't jewsJews had a consistent language throughout history? What was wrong with lashon hakodeshLashon Hakodesh (besides for learning the local language)? We adopted Aramaic with a mixture of LHK and local variations of this such as judeoJudeo-arabicArabic, ladinoLadino and Yiddish. Was this conglomeration of LHK and the local language by intent? A new language seems to be forming which is known as yeshivish. Though I'm not sure if that falls under the same category as the previous languages listed. Any thoughts?
