Up and down the tune goes. Our ear is used to it, even the speaker in =

Dear Hardy,
a language that has such a rich literature as Yiddish is a language, and =
it is at least 1000 years old. I really don't understand why does =
someone need to doubt it.

As for Schmetterling: The Czernowitzian Yiddish was very =
"daytshmerized". And the Czernowitzian German was, on the opposit, very =
"faryidisht". The German language in Berlin is quite different :) =
Languages are not dead substances. They live and develop. French was =
also bad Latin once upon a time.

By the way, "bobele" (for butterfly) has Slavic origin.
