{{Kotak info Yahudi}}

Seorang '''Yahudi''' ([[Bahasa Ibrani|Ibrani]]: יְהוּדִי, ''Yehudi'' ([[singular|sl.]]); {{lang|he|יְהוּדִים}}, ''Yehudim'' ([[plural|pl.]]); [[Bahasa Ladino|Ladino]]: ג׳ודיו, ''Djudio'' ([[singular|sl.]]); ג׳ודיוס, ''Djudios'' ([[plural|pl.]]); [[Bahasa Yiddish|Yiddish]]: ייִד, ''Yid'' (sl.); {{lang|yi|ייִדן}}, ''Yidn'' (pl.))<ref>According to the [[The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language]], Fourth Edition (2000): "It is widely recognized that the attributive use of the noun ''Jew'', in phrases such as ''Jew lawyer'' or ''Jew ethics'', is both vulgar and highly offensive. In such contexts ''Jewish'' is the only acceptable possibility. Some people, however, have become so wary of this construction that they have extended the stigma to any use of ''Jew'' as a noun, a practice that carries risks of its own. In a sentence such as ''There are now several Jews on the council'', which is unobjectionable, the substitution of a circumlocution like ''Jewish people'' or ''persons of Jewish background'' may in itself cause offense for seeming to imply that Jew has a negative connotation when used as a noun.
