The origin of Ashkenazic Jews and their language, Yiddish, have been the subject of controversy for over three centuries and has yet to be resolved. The "Rhineland hypothesis" depicts Eastern European Jews as a "population isolate" that emerged from a small group of German Jews who migrated eastward and expanded rapidly through a miracle. Alternatively, the "Khazarian hypothesis" or "Irano-Turko-Slavic hypothesis" suggests that Eastern European Jews descended from an anamalgam of Turkic clans that settled the Caucasus in the early centuries A.D. and converted to Judaism during the first Millennium.
