Given the closeness of Yiddish and German, it would be the words of Hebrew origin that would stand out.&lt;p&gt;Dutch has quite a number of Yiddish loan-words, many of them in (very) common use.

I think the first time I stumbled upon this when I realized that Martin Indyk is not automatically a Polish last name ( despite Martin&amp;#x27;s family having immigrated from Poland ). Indik is very much Yiddish. And when you think of it, it should not be a surprise, Poland used to have a vibrant Jewish community before the war.</text></comment>
