Yiddishland ( Yiddish ייִדישלאַנד or אידישלאַנד) indicates that area in which to Yiddish-speaking communities in Central and Eastern Europe prior to their physical destruction in the era of National Socialism and its allies during the Second World War were. This space is characterized by the use of Yiddish as the main language within the Jewish communities.

Yiddishland does not denote a clearly territorial and state-bound area, but the territory in which the majority of the Yiddish-speaking communities ( shtetl and villages) were located. This area is in Poland , Lithuania , Belarus , Ukraine , Romania and Hungary . The pre-Holocaust population is estimated at 11 million Yiddish speakers. Yiddishland refers exclusively to the East Yiddish area. The Westjiddische was before the Holocaust largely been addressed in the context of Jewish emancipation in German.
