Yiddish

Etymology
The Etymology is mostly obscure. ייִדיש:, from Yidish Daytsh, from jüdisch diutsch:, cognate with German jüdisch:. (also called Judeo-German, Judendeutsch; see Ashkenazi)

Since Jewish Germans (or Yiddish) had to exist before a Yiddish language could be created, the term is probably Middle High German, rather than Yiddish.
