No it doesn't. "As a proportion of the world Jewish population, Ashkenazim were estimated to be 3% in the 11th century, rising to 92% in 1930 near the population's peak." Teflawn (talk) 14:50, 4 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Eastern vs. Western/Central Askenazim
I wanted to wikilink "Eastern Ashkenazi" or East Ashkenazi in the page L'Shana Haba'ah, but I was surprized to find that E/W distinciton is not covered in Wikipedia, so I made an intital uneducated stab at the subject (may be I was not diligent enough in searching Wikipedia, but the redlinks are right here). I hope someonne expands the section I added. --Altenmann>talk19:53, 5 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
