The largest Jewish community is the Ashkenazi, or German Jewish, community. They where established in the Rhineland region of northwestern Europe and then spread to much of Europe, particularly German-speaking and East Slavic-peaking regions (and later Israel and regions in the European diaspora such as the United States).
The second largest, the Sephardim, were established in Iberia. They spread to other parts of Europe (particularly Greece, Italy, Britain and France), the Middle East and North Africa due to persecution.
The Romaniotes (Greek) and Bene Roma (Italian) are smaller ethnic groups.
'Mizrahi' is an umbrella term for various non-European communities.
The Ethiopian Jews were an important community, known as the Beta Israel. The Solomonic dynasty, including Haile Selassie, although Miaphysite Christians, were of partial Jewish origin. Most Beta Israel now reside in Israel.
The Indian Jews of Kerala, known as Cochin or Malabar Jews, are the descendents of Hebrew traders who settled in the region. Today they mostly speak Malayalam, and many have converted to Syrian Orthodox Christianity (they are called the "Malabar Nasranis"). The Bene Israel are Maharashtrian Jews.
There are also Jewish communities native to the Caucasus. Persian and Palestinian Jewish communities are some of the oldest in the world, and they've been supplemented by later Sephardic migrants. Yemenites developed a separate culture and liturgy from other Jews due to their isolation in the south of the Arabian peninsula.
