Actually, it's probably a push between Russian and Yiddish. By the end of the 19th century, Russian was supplanting Yiddish (the main language for Ashkenazi Jews in Europe since the middle ages) in many Jewish communities. But I've always had the feeling Anatevka was smaller and even more isolated than other shtetls. My husband's relatives were from that part of the world, got here when Tevye did, and they spoke Yiddish. Laura
