This sefer was written by Rabbi Hillel Lichtenstein of Kolomaya. The letters are written in hebrew but when I read it, I do not understand the words. It seems that it is another language. Which one?

Here's a link to the book on Hebrewbooks. Looking at it, it seems to be written in Yiddish.

Well, it's sure not Hebrew, and he wrote in Hebrew and Yiddish (Wikipedia page linked to in the question) Commented Dec 18, 2014 at 11:05

I'm no expert, but it's definitely Yiddish. It uses the word "Yiddishkeit" for example.– WAFCommented Dec 18, 2014 at 12:30
