Answer for Rabbi Mendel
I would say Ivrit, but I am not sure about the roots of the yiddish words mentioned above. These, may german words imported into yiddish but i have no way of knowing about the roots of these words if they are hebrew words imported into german.

Yiddish words known in Germany
Also misch-masch= mixed up, hasserei=rabits cage, quetschen=squissen, schmutzig=dirty, schlepen=dragging, gesund=healthy,
geschmack=taste, qwatch=non sense, zwievel=onion are common yiddish (maybe hebrew or german) words used in Berlin today.
