Hi Shula! I have several references in various books that basically say
that Czernowitzer Deutsch had it's origins when the Bukowina became a
"Kronland"..ie direct control by Vienna..so German language became
pre-eminent but much influenced by local conditions and languages. So from
mid-184os onwards. Cornel.

Subject: Re: [Cz-L] Czernowitz Deutsch
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 they
had been in Czernowitz?
I know that my grandmother read the classics in German and that she spoke
Yiddish, 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
grandmother.
When did Czernowitzer Deutsch come into regular use? Does anyone know at
what point it became a separate dialect?
Warm regards from autumnal Vancouver,
Shula

know if others have recorded or been recorded.
