Language names in ASL- How do you say “Yiddish?”?

I recently noted in ASL that the word for “Hebrew” (the language) is synonymous with the word for Jewish (the religion). I recently needed the word “Yiddish” though (a Jewish language which literally translated into “Jewish”). How do distinguish between the two in conversation? It generally is not clear from conversational context. .
