  Jewish languages - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
At the beginning of the nineteenth century, Yiddish was the main language of Jews in Eastern Europe (thus making it the language spoken by the majority of Jews in the world), while Ladino was widespread in the Maghreb, Greece, and Turkey; smaller groups in Europe spoke such languages as Judæo-Italian, Yevanic, or Karaim.
The largest single language spoken by Jews is English: The largest Jewish population in the world is in the United States, and there are also large, substantial communities in Canada (a majority of Canadian Jews speak English, not French), the United Kingdom, Australia, and South Africa.
Hebrew is the language of daily life in Israel, though a substantial proportion of the country's citizens are immigrants who speak it as their second language.

 List of endangered languages - Simple English Wikipedia
In order to judge if a language is actually endangered, the number of speakers is less important than the distribution among age cohorts.
There may be 500 000 mothertongue speakers of the Breton language over 50 years of age, but fewer than 2 000 under 25 years of age - thus it is likely Breton will die out in the next half century.
On the other hand while there are 30 000 Ladin language speakers left, almost all children still learn it as their mothertongue - thus Ladin is not endangered in the 21st century.

 Krymchak language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Krymchak language (кърымчах тыльы) is the language spoken in Crimea by the Krymchak people.
It is often considered to be a Crimean Tatar dialect.
In the Soviet Union in the 1930s this language was written with the Uniform Turkic Alphabet (a variant of the Latin alphabet), like Crimean Tatar and Karaim).

 Language
Language families can be divided into smaller phylogenetic units, conventionally referred to as branches of the family, because the history of a language family is often represented as a tree diagram.
Languages that cannot be reliably classified into any family are known as language isolates.
A language isolated in its own branch within a family, such as Greek within Indo-European, is often also called an isolate, but such cases are usually clarified.

 Krimchak
The Crimean Tatars referred to them as zuluflu Г§ufutlar ("Jews with pe'ot") to distinguish them from the Crimean Karaites, or Karaim, who were called zulufsuz Г§ufutlar ("Jews without pe'ot").
During the period of Khazar rule, intermarriage between Crimean Jews and Khazars is likely, and the Krymchaks probably absorbed numerous Khazar refugees during the decline and fall of the Khazar kingdom (a Khazar successor state, ruled by Georgius Tzul, was centered on Kerch).
The Mongol conquerors of the Pontic region were promoters of religious freedom, and the Genoese occupation of the southern Crimea (1315-1475) saw increasing levels of Jewish settlement in the region.

 On Liberty
It was a religious and cultural phenomenon that arose among the Tatars -- or as they were known then, "Muslims within Russia" -- in the mid-19th century and later spread to Central Asia.
But one should recall that for the Tatars in the late 19th century, the entire system of education was based solely on the religious schools, or madrassas.
This growth in radical views is aided by the policies of Russia's leadership, primarily in Chechnya, which many see as a war by the federal center against their coreligionists, especially in light of the Russian leadership's demonstrative cozying up to the Orthodox church.

Mozarabic, a romance language in the middle ages, was written in Arabic characters and influenced by Arabic.
I think this phenomenon is comparable to Jewish languages in so far as in both cases a local language is written in Arabic/Hebrew script because of the religious and cultural prestige of that script within the group that uses it.

I assume that you are referring to the language known in Israel as Maroka'it, and not to Ladino.
Sefiha-Vidal has made the distinction between Ladino, which is a litterary language, a "mot a mot" traduction from Hebrew texts, and JUDEZMO (or Judeo-Spanish, or Haketiya, or whatever), which are the spoken vernacular (or even litterary, but not calques) varieties.

Their languages have differed by as little as a few embedded Hebrew words or by as much as a highly variant grammar.
Also intriguing is what you already mention, but which is mentioned at a number of the pages there: that Jews preserved various elements of local dialects that died out in the population at large.
However this phenomenon usually lasts in a language community only for only a few generations and eventually their descendents either go over completely to the new language or back to the old one.

This is to announce the formation of a Consortium for Language Policy and Planning, to be hosted by the University of Pennsylvania's Penn Language Center and Solomon Asch Center for Study of Ethnopolitical Conflict.
MISSION: The objectives of the Consortium are to enhance the quality of research, teaching, and information-dissemination on the subject of language policy formation and study; to strengthen similarly-oriented programs of its member institutions, and to foster dialogue on the process of language policy formation in situations of ethnic and linguistic conflict in the modern world.
In particular, the Consortium for Language Policy and Planning will have as a primary focus projects that are educational and informational--the Consortium will sponsor workshops, summer institutes, informational and short-courses designed to bring to public discussion issues affecting schools and other multilingual sites of contention in contemporary America and other parts of the world.

The language was simply the vernacular of Istanbul and the urban fl sea turks of the time.
These regional versions of Turkish language (Crimean Tatar, Karaite Judeo-Turkish, and Krymchak Judeo-Tatar) are not 13th century imports of Anatolian turkish (like Gagauz) but probably reflect the older Cuman/Kipchak pre-Golden Horde Turkish tradition of the steppes.
Then there are various languages spoken by wanderers such as Gypsies (Romani), the Irish "Tinkers", and the speakers of the "Rotwelsch" language which includes elements of both Romani and Yiddish.

Languages belonging to the groups (a) and (b) are listed indifferently in the indexes, while (c) diaspora dialects appear unnumbered and unmarked, except in the index by country if they constitute the sole representative of the language in the country.
The latest updates bring Piedmontese, Ligurian, Lombard, and Emilian into the group of potentially endangered languages and it may prove necessary to move at least some of them to the group of endangered languages.
Please keep in mind that for languages other than Finno-Ugrian I have had to rely on second-hand sources, and in a number of cases even they were difficult to obtain.
