Will have to read the paper tomorrow to review their methodology, but Italian is not as unusual as it might appear - the Genovese colonies in Crimea were quite populous, and Crimea is the most plausible cradle of the Yiddish language.

All funded by the Black Sea Slave Trade, selling Europeans into the Middle East and Africa...
