Also, quite a few Jews from Latin America, particularly from Argentina and to a lesser extent from Venezuela, have planted roots in Montreal so Spanish probably has grown too. I'm sure Yiddish has increased, due to high birthrates in the Hasidic community, and Russian too. I assume that Engish has declined as anglophone Jews continue to migrate to Toronto and other points in North America.
