Niederwerrn in 1781 edit

In 1781 Niederwerrn would not belong to the Electorate of Bavaria, within the Bavarian Circle of the Holy Roman Empire, but rather to an Imperial Knight within the Franconian Circle of the Holy Roman Empire. 141.91.18.149 (talk) 07:24, 4 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

The article implies that Hirsch didn't know any language before the age of 16^^. I assume that he was fluent in Hebrew, some High German and the German spoken in Berlin of that time maybe to some degree in French. ciao --Pentaclebreaker (talk) 09:55, 4 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

I would assume that his first language was Yiddish. According to contemporary sources he previously knew only "Hebrew and some poor German" ([1], [2]).  Ploni💬  12:53, 4 November 2022 (UTC)Reply
