Re: [Cz-L] Die Peschl

Why is Litvak Yiddish pure ?
  Is our Yiddish impure ?
   No language has rules how for its developement.
    When the Soviets recognized the Jews right to autonom schooling
 they faced the problem of the language. They found out that every
community spoke differently..
   They chose Litvak and we got "Saynen " for "senen "which was very funny.
    Otherwise they must have printed 5 versions of books for a population
    of a few hundred thousand.
     Back to languages:
    All language adopt words from all possible sources
      and has no rules for its development..
      You dont find purity of language in books.
       It is in the mouth of the people who use it.
     In 1906 Jews decided in Czernowitz that Yiddish was a language.
      In 1942 Germans in Wannsee decided that the Jews were no people.
