RE: [Cz-L] Hotel Bristol

Well,I was born in November 1936. I grew up speaking German because my
parents,grandparents,family and friends all spoke German .....and it was
Czernowitzer Deutsch. Not Czernowitzer Yiddish!! We understood it, and my
grandparents could speak it,but as far as I remember it was not used
routinely. What is more I do not believe that any of us had "a heavily
Yiddish pronunciation". Cornel

I mostly agree with Cornel.
The people who had been born between 1900 and 1918
all learned German in school. They also read German novels, newspapers
and magazines. That is why most of them spoke grammatically correct
German
even though their pronunciation was heavily Yiddish.
I happen to have letters written by assorted relatives between the years
1924 - 1940, all of them are written in correct German.
