I believe the languages are English, Italian, Hungarian, czech/slovak (?), polish and Yiddish, which would track with where immigrants to the US were often coming from at that time.

My grandparents settled in the Slavic Village. My grandma was first gen born in the US. Some Of her siblings were actually born in the “old country”. When I was growing up (80’s) Slavic Village was still a cultural destination for the Czech/ Bohemian immigrants. She grew up on JackAss Hill. Now 480/77 interchange.
