Czernowitzers...
In his February 2016 thesis for the Master’s degree in German Language and Literature of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Ohad Kohn points to the paradox for the "local German idiom [of Czernowitz]: Buko-Wienerisch represents the outwardly-looking aspirations of the Jewish bourgeoisie to form a language in the image of their cultural Mecca, Vienna; Ki(e)geldeutsch, conversely, represents an inwardly-looking, more realistic but also more reconciling appreciation of that inner-Jewish idiom." The Book(s) of the Month, February 2018 illustrate this paradox:

While "Bukowiner Deutsch" by the ADSV [General German Linguistic Association] focuses on supposed "Mistakes and Particularities of the Bukovinian German Common / Written Language", Dr. Emanuel Hacken's "Das Czernowitzer deutsch" demontrates just the opposite: the linguistic richness of the "The German Idiom of Czernowitz".
We are most thankful to fellow List member Ruth Glasberg Gold, who by her inspired transcription and edition of Dr. Emanuel Hacken's notes made this publication possible.
