Lachoudisch formed in the 16th century as Jewish citizens found it convenient to trade secrets in a language non Jews couldn't understand. The language spread within the community and eventually some non Jews knew it too. As the Jewish community of Schopfloch mostly emigrated abroad and the remained was eradicated by 1939 the language entered serious decline, and eventually went extinct.[2]
Lachoudisch contained several Hebrew and Yiddish loanwords many of which reflected the jewish communities hostility to Christianity and government authority.[2]
