@dmeisler1 it's written using Hebrew letters not Latin.

He should have sang that at her funerals that would've been very appropriate lol...

@MrWillywax

Since they are both Germanic languages descended from the same origin, namely medieval German, one can just as easily say that German is Yiddish written in latin letters. They are sister languages – like Portuguese and Spanish. “A language is a dialect with an army and navy”.

@CheEinora But those old people, who you dismiss so easily, have more to say, have more life experience, than we will ever know if Yiddish is allowed to die. Yiddish was almost wiped out by Hitler, but the language refuses to die, Listen and learn from your elders

Zeyer gut!

@phrenzy1 I'd rather learn hebrew - it's easier to find people who speaks it, because mainly there's only old people speaking yidish.

IDIOT

[MrWillywax]

@phrenzy1 Matter of fact, to put it bluntly, Yiddish could be defined as a German dialect written in Hebrew

[cryztyanus]

Haha... very funny :)

I speak a little German and the other day I was sitting in a dentists office and heard two older ladies talking to one another and I kept hearing words I knew buti couldn't pick up the conversation, it wasn't Dutch and it wasn't Hungarian, it only occurs to me now that it must have been Yiddish! Could someone recommend to me, if I could only learn one, should I try and pick up Yiddish or Hebrew?
