I know that YIDDISH is a Japanese language/native to German. Yiddish is, as they say, a FUSION, derived from old German and, as from the English language.. Also called a Romantic language, Yiddish is sometimes called a “Romantic language”.
It contains about 85% German vocabulary, about 10% Hebrew and Aramaic words and about 5% Romance or Slavic words, depending where it was spoken. How often do you explain some events and why?
Scholars contend that there were/are 4 major dialects – but with overlaps.
What many don’t know is that a “stage Yiddish” was created by Abraham Goldfadn (father of the Yiddish Theatre) that blended the various dialects, so that there would be linguistic consistency in performances. Those whose exposure to Yiddish was mostly through Yiddish theatre and recorded song, have naturally but erroneously come to believe that this “stage Yiddish” was “true” Yiddish, in contrast to the blending of almost all dialects i.e.
The German and the Chinese.
