Languages with a significant site in this neighborhood, marked by a point on the map:

Chinantec

Tsa Jujmi
While not as numerous in New York as some other Indigenous Mexican groups, there have been reports of individual speakers of Chinantec — or of Chinantecan languages, because the group is highly internally diverse — living in Mexican areas within the city.

Crimean Tatar

Qırımtatarca
In Borough Park, a community of as many as 5,000 Crimean Tatars maintains its own mosque/community institution, where most speak the Istanbul variety of Turkish today, having come as refugees from the Crimean Peninsula via Eskişehir. The New York Crimean Tatar Ensemble preserves and develops the community's music.

Hasidic Yiddish

חסידיש אידיש
Dozens of distinct Hasidic communities took root in Brooklyn after the Holocaust, which decimated and uprooted all Hasidic groups across Europe. As the communities grew, they would prove an exception to the broader shift of Yiddish speakers to English, retaining the language into the third and now fourth generations. The major centers have been Williamsburg, a world center for the Satmar Hasidic dynasty, and Borough Park, where Satmar, Bobov, and many other groups come into contact— with something similar now happening in suburban Rockland and Orange counties. Smaller numbers are in Queens, the Five Towns, and increasingly elsewhere across the metro region. The result has been what is arguably a new kind of lingua franca, sometimes called Hasidic Yiddish, based on Southern Yiddish dialects but distinctive for its English, Hebrew, and Aramaic loanwords.

Hungarian

Magyar
While the earliest Hungarian communities in New York lived in "three distinct quarters", with the largest on the Lower East Side, the hub for the community soon became Yorkville, where other Germanic and Central European language speakers moved and important institutions include Hungarian House. Some number of older people in the Satmar Hasidic community, originally from Hungary but now based in Brooklyn, are native Yiddish speakers but also have some command of Hungarian. Other significant Hungarian communities formed in New Jersey and included many refugees from the 1956 uprising—significant clusters supporting many different institutions formed in Bergen County (including Passaic, Clifton, Garfield, Wayne, and surrounding areas) as well as New Brunswick's Fifth Ward.

Jewish English

Jewish English
Jewish English is what linguists sometimes call an "ethnolect", a distinct variety of English spoken by many New York Jews, with influence from Yiddish and Hebrew — other terms include Yinglish and Yeshivish. Speakers are typically in largely Jewish neighborhoods, today principally inhabited by observant and yeshiva-educated Jews, some of whom may be native Yiddish speakers and know English as a second language, such as Williamsburg, Borough Park, Flatbush, Riverdale, Far Rockaway and Kew Gardens Hills — or in areas like New Jersey (Passaic, Lakewood) and upstate New York's Rockland and Sullivan counties, once home to the Borscht Belt (where Jewish English was played for laughs) and home today to large Hasidic communities. Litvishe Yiddish is also spoken or understood to a degree in the Bais Hatalmud community of Bensonhurst Jewish English is spoken wherever there are significant concentrations of yeshiva-educated Orthodox Jews. Additional communities in the NY area include Flatbush, Far Rockaway, Passaic and Lakewood

Shina

شینا
A highly multilingual contingent of families and individuals from Gilgit-Baltistan, a mountainous and multilingual region of northern Pakistan, includes speakers not only of English, Urdu, Balti, and Wakhi, but also one Khowar-speaking family, a handful of Shina-speaking families, and some native- and second-language speakers of Burushaski (a language isolate) — most live in Queens or Brooklyn, with a small number in Manhattan and on Long Island.

Yemenite Judeo-Arabic

اليمني
The first major wave of Yemeni Jews arrived in America following the establishment of Israel in 1948. Highly distinct from Ashkenazi, Sephardic, and Mizrahi traditions, Yemenite Jewish practices follow their own religious rite and use a distinctive, conservative Hebrew in prayers, in addition to the distinctive Arabic spoken as a language of daily life. There are reported to be ten active Yemenite Jewish synagogues in the New York metro area, representing every borough except the Bronx, with Borough Park's Ohel Shalom as one major community anchor.

An urban language map

Welcome to Languages of New York City, a free and interactive digital map of the world’s most linguistically diverse metropolitan area.

All data, unless otherwise specified, is from the Endangered Language Alliance (ELA), based on information from communities, speakers, and other sources.

The map is a work in progress and a partial snapshot, focused on significant sites for Indigenous, minority, and endangered languages. Larger languages are represented selectively. To protect the privacy of speakers, some locations are slightly altered. Social media users, note that LANGUAGEMAP.NYC works best in a separate browser. We apologize that the map may not be fully accessible to all users, including the visually impaired.

This map was created by the Mapping Linguistic Diversity team, with core support from the Peter Wall Institute for Advanced Studies and the Endangered Language Alliance. Please send feedback!
