Re: [Cz-L] Yiddish

Yiddish is not German ?
   German has 30 - 40 dialects.
   The Berliner does not understand the Bavarian.
     The same as the Litvaks do not understand Bessarabian.
       This is why they held the Czernowitzer Conference in 1906
        on Yiddish .
     To create a Standard Yiddish all would understand.
          Then all of the Jews left the place,
Hardy
