<br>from "Standard" Eastern Yiddish, but Judeo-Alsatian is at the extreme<br>end of the Western Yiddish area. It's just a coincidence that it is<br>the last (known) surviving variety.<br><br>Regarding Hebrew and Aramaic words in the text, it's important to
<br>remember that most Jews worldwide will use such words to refer to<br>religious and cultural concepts, and that even Ashkenazim whose<br>ancestors stopped speaking Yiddish several generations ago may use<br>Yiddish phrases such as "keyn aynhore" (what would that be in WY, kaan
<br>aynhore?), "oy vey" (au vaa?), and words like "schlmiel", "putz",<br>"schlong", "mensch", etc.<br><br>Mark<br><br>----------<br><br>From: <span id="_user_node.ue@gmail.com" style="color: rgb(0, 104, 28);">

You call them "Judeo-Alsatian," and I would consider that far more accurate, along with "Judeo-Alemannic".
