    Described by Anna Verschik as "a cluster of post-Yiddish varieties of Russian used as a special in-group register by Ashkenazic Jews in Russia", Jewish Russian is sometimes equated with or compared to the particular Yiddish-influenced variety of Russian long spoken in Odessa in today's Ukraine. Though Jewish Russian has been little studied outside Russia, for the past half-century Brooklyn's "Little Odessa" (Brighton Beach and the surrounding neighborhoods) has represented a major concentration of Russian-speaking Jews and appears to be a site for use of the ethnolect.

    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!
