I have a question about Cz Deutsch, too, following my Schnorrbut post.
Does the type of German my family spoke tell me anything about how long the=
y had been in Czernowitz?
I know that my grandmother read the classics in German and that she spoke Y=
iddish, but was her daily conversation in "mainstream" German? I don't know=
... I understand that her sister spoke Cz Deutsch (much to the confusion of=
some Austrian border guards!) - but she left the city later than my grandm=
other.
When did Czernowitzer Deutsch come into regular use? Does anyone know at wh=
at point it became a separate dialect?
Warm regards from autumnal Vancouver,
Shula
