I can only imagine:
Before 1774 Jews came from Poland with Polish Yiddish as their speak.
On their way through Galizia they put Ruthenian (they called Goyish)into the
mix.
In 1774 came the Austrians with their German speech and were joyfully
welcomed by the Jews who could understand much of what was said.
The Austrians of Cz also learned to converse.
Every language has its music.
Czernowitzerish music came from the Cheider.
The sing song of the prayerbook was deeply imprinted in their speech.
No matter what language. I can hear it :
"A sehr a scheine Sprach "
Hardy

Well,remember that the Austrians took over in 1774...so some of the locals
must have communicated with the Garrison etc before German became the
compulsory language of government etc so some sort of development was
probably going on.An interesting fact is that in General von Splenyi's
report it says that (I am translating!) "Czernowitz is a fairly
well-populated place.The best houses belong to local Jews who are
well-established". A further report says that in 1775 there were (not
counting the suburbs of Rosch and Horecza) 290 families of whom 112 were
Jewish. Cornel.
