Yiddish has a maximum of 12 romance words. Some of these romance words are only in Western Yiddish which went extinct when its last speaker died in 1977. Yiddish has too few so called romance words to count as having a "romance component".

Yiddish :-) to hear & understand = it's possible in combination with my own native language German

It was an excellent overview. Enjoyed it very much .

Who are the Sorbian people. Does he mean Serbian?

Wonderful

Satan is the great deceiver and the Talmudists fear the TRUTH. Gog and Magog will be destroyed.

My great-grandfather went to Birobidzhan to see what life was like there in the 1930s. He came back home to his family, and they decided not to settle there. It would have saved many of their lives if they did.

Thank you for acknowledging all those who made this video possible! Such a nice gentleman. There is something about Yiddish - just hearing " Shayna madela" made me feel so loved. I hear Duolingo is now on offering Yiddish, so maybe there will be a resurgence of this endearing and lovely language 💕

Miss ya Fima.

It's sad to see most of the Yiddish interviews are done with old people. Where are young people using Yiddish and expressing themselves in Yiddish? I'm trying to learn it a little bit. Hopefully one day I can do an interview myself.

I agree the movement when davening is an intrinsically driven expression that is suppressed by social expectations and pressure in modern shuls. The unique styles of movement to each group (Ashkenazi, Mizrahi) are so interesting.

Thank you for posting this, it was awesome to get to know more about Molly. I discovered her from her reoccurring roll as Mrs. Bronson on "Car 54, where are you?" (1961-1963), and I absolutely loved her. She was one of my favorite characters on the show, she was so funny in it. Thank you very much for sharing this, it was a great talk, I'm glad to know more about this wonderful woman and actress. :)

Beautiful and it’s a shame many children don’t get a decent education like this women did

I speak pretty good German (even though I am not a native) and to me, it sounds like German with a tendancy to replace "a" sounds with "oa"

This is an outstanding film which I sit and cry and sing along. I grew up in Brighton Beach and went to a Yiddishe Shule as well as regular school and also continued and was a Yiddish teacher. I now live in a senior facility in /tel Aviv . I have a Yiddish group twice a month and am thrilled to have found the movie which I will show next week. Ruth Keusch

Wunderbar um diese liebe Frau zu zuhören! :-)

Als Österreicher ist es unglaublich zu hören, wie sehr Jiddisch unserem deutschen Dialekt ähnelt. Denn Grund hierfür habe ich vor kurzem herausgefunden: 1. Es gibt grob gesagt zwei Jiddische Varianten; a) West-Jiddisch und b) Ost-Jiddisch. 2. Da Östereich eine der Regionen war, wo sich diese vermischten (Zentral-Jiddisch), können wir das heutige Jiddisch so gut verstehen. Denn im Gegensatz zum West-Jiddisch, das viel mehr mit "Deutschland-deutschen" Dialekten gemeinsam hatte, dominieren im Ost-Jiddisch die südost-deutschen Dialekte (auch als österreichische Dialekte bekannt ;-) ) mit starkem slawischen und natürlich hebräischen Komponenten. Dann bleibt da noch die Frage: Warum gibt es quasi keine Sprecher des West-Jiddischen mehr? Antwort: Der Großteil der West-Jiddisch sprechenden Juden (ca. 90 %) wurde im Holocaust ermordet.Der starke Bezug zur jiddischen Sprache wird auch daran ersichtlich wie viele hebräische Wörter durch das Jiddische in unserem Dialket (besonders dem Wienerischen) Einzug genommen haben. Da dieses "Zentral-Jiddisch" sich in Aussprache, Grammatik, etc. so schwer von unserm Dialekt unterscheiden lässt, ist es für Laien schwer zu bestimmen, ob es sich bei einem Wort, einer Phrase um Hebräisch handelt.ein paar Beispiele: Beisl (Gasthaus): von Hebr. beit masn (Glück): von Hebr. mazal Hawara (Kerl): von Hebr. chaver g'schlaucht (erschöpft) : von Hebr. schlacha ...For me as an Austrian it is unbelievable to hear, how similar Yiddish is to our german dialect. Recently I have found out why: 1. To dumb it down, there are 2 main varieties: a) Western-Yiddish and b) Eastern-Yiddish. 2. As Austria was a region, where these main variaties mingled and formed something like "Central-Yiddish", we are able to understand current Yiddish so well. Contrary to Western-Yiddish, which has (had) far more in common with "Germany-german-dialects", Eastern-Yiddish is dominated by sout-eastern-german dialects (some call it Austrian ;-) ) and strongly influenced by slavic components and Hebrew of course. Remains to be answerd, why there are hardly any Western-Yiddish speakers any more: The majority of these was killed during the Holocaust. The striking connection to Yiddish is also particularly obvious regarding the amount of Hebrew words that entered our dialect (especially the Viennese) thanks to Yiddish. As this "Central-Yiddish" is hardly distinguishable from our dialect in reagard to intonation, grammar, etc, it is particularly difficult for a layman to determine whether a word, a phrase stems from Yiddish-Hebrew.some examples:Beisl (tavern): from Hebr. beit masn (luck): form Hebr. mazal Hawara (bloke): from Hebr. chaver g'schlaucht (exhausted): from Hebr. schlacha ...

Yiddish lebt. The ultra-orthodox only speak Yiddish and since they have the highest birthrate amongst Jews, Yiddish continues to grow annually. However, secular Yiddish speakers continue to decrease overall in spite of the efforts of secular groups and schools. The few thousand people who learn Yiddish in schools will not make any real difference since few of them speak it as their primary language.

Interesting language. How many speak yiddish today?

Such a lovely lady. What a loss to have that world extinguished.

I was wondering what Judy Bressler was doing these days. I always liked her voice.
