 | | For the Jews in the Bukovina German was devoid of national significance and simply served as a means of communication in a world language. | | | The director, a German from another part of the Empire, didn't understand what the fuss was all about and saw no reason to deny the wishes of his students. | | | There he found the new Yiddish literature, and Czernowitz, a city where he could feel at home among German speaking Jews. |

| | Articles - Yiddish language |
| | Use of the Western Yiddish dialect began to decline in the 18th century, as The Enlightenment and the Haskalah (Jewish Enlightenment) led German Jews to view Yiddish as a "corrupt German". | | | The every-day language of the European Jews in the later Middle Ages was identical with the vernacular of the Christian community, which was German for most of the Ashkenazi territory. | | | Farther east, where Jews were not surrounded by German speakers, the Eastern Yiddish dialect continued to thrive. |

| | The language of the "Nibelungenlied" is the so-called Middle High German, that is, the High German written and spoken in the period between 1100 and 1500, the language of the great romances of chivalry and of the "Minnesingers". | | | This time the Romans called to their aid the hordes of Huns, who had been growing rapidly in power and were already pressing hard upon the German nations from the east. | | | Naturally this catastrophe, in which a whole German nation fell before the hordes of invading barbarians, produced a profound impression upon the Teutonic world. |

| | Istria on the Internet - Religion - History - The Hebrews in Istria |
| | A language spoken by many European Jews and their descendants in many other continents, it is a dialect of High German written in Hebrew alphabet characters and containing elements of Hebrew, Russian, Polish etc. | | | The disagreements reemerged again due to Christian intolerance, provoked by religious fanaticism, very common in the High Middle Ages, and by the fact that the wealth accumulated by the bankers enhanced the dislike of the populace. | | | It should be noted that the Jewish bankers acted also as Tax Collectors and "gabellieri" (custom-house officers or toll collectors). |

| | Anyhow - here's a dialect joke my mum told me a few years ago - she heard it on Radio Nottingham (Dennis McCarthy Show) from a clergyman being interviewed - it's not strictly Lancashire, but close..... | | | We do talk a bit mad but a lot of the old dialect has died out now and although we do use a few of the MAD (and even we think they are crazy, but fun) phrases we still find very few people who speak it fluently. | | | jew = cheat out of money as, for example, getting the wrong change in a shop, "yon bugger's jewed ma." It's a lovely dialect word but not a very politically correct one these days. |

| | Yiddish culture |
| | In spite of all that has been done for Jews and Yiddish culture under the support of the German state after the second world war, the most intensive Yiddish life of west European Jews is characteristic of France. | | | As Mr Daniel Tarschys, Secretary General of the Council of Europe, stated on 2 May 1995, not only the Jews who died are to be commemorated, but also their traditions and culture made up of Germanic, Slav and Hebrew elements. | | | In the Kyiv Jewish school and the Kyiv Jewish high school (gymnasium) Yiddish is taught as a mother tongue and Ivrit as a foreign language. |

| | However the Jews have always devoted much effort to maintaining high standards of literacy among themselves, the main purpose being to let any Jew read the Hebrew Bible and the accompanying religious works in the original. | | | Mizrahi (Oriental) Hebrew is actually a collection of dialects spoken liturgically by Jews in various parts of the Arab and Islamic world. | | | In practice, there is also Ashkenazi Hebrew, still widely used in Ashkenazi Jewish services and studies in Israel and abroad. |

| | SF Xenolinguistics (JBR Primer) |
| | Languages described as "High", like High Martian, Old High Vulcan or indeed High Draconic, aren't from upland regions (as is the case for, eg, High German) - they're ancient and complicated prestige dialects preserved from the days when the Empire was much bigger and better and more sophisticated. | | | Just be careful with black-market language tapes; don't buy any that claim to be "doubleplusgood". | | | Exchangers - including "handshaking" computers that swap lexicons on contact (do you really want to give away security-risk terms such as "hypnosis" to unknown aliens?), and psychic "language chamaeleons" that can reply in any dialect they encounter (be careful not to use "royal we" back to God-Emperors). |

| | Pennsylvania German Tombstones: A Survey of Kutztown Cemeteries |
| | This, of course, would influence a new generation of Pennsylvania Germans who would now only utilize the Pennsylvania Dutch dialect in their personal lives and the use of High German would be eventually lost. | | | One also has to remember that other events occurred in American society and in the lives of the Pennsylvania Germans that inhabited Kutztown. | | | Thus we see a correlation in the increase of English usage during the years of the Civil War, but once the war is over in 1865 German becomes once again more prevalent. |

| | An other explanation would be that bork is a mis-spelling (or dialect) of 'borg' or 'borch'. | | | Of course there is a third possibility: perhaps Bork used to mean something in the dialect of North-Groningen in 1811, which isn't recorded. | | | Jan Klaassen Borkhuis was probably living in or near a big house or farm when he was made to register his name and choose a surname in 1811. |

| | Studying language typology by means of corpora |
| | Following this principle we can compare on a par Modern High German and Modern English and Modern High German and Old or Middle High German, as all these are considered independent stages of languages which reveal the same basic underlying structure. | | | For the purpose of the present study, though, dialectal forms had to be standardised to one sole form and spelling irregularities, rising from various scribal traditions and lack of tradition in many case, had to be normalised. | | | One of the assumptions in the universalist research is the belief that all the languages of the world, ancient or modern are intrinsically similar and exhibit similar complexity of system that, although different on the surface goes back to similar deep structure. |
