Dovid Braun | Delivered in Yiddish.
Varieties of Yiddish are distinguished – some in professional but some only in informal usage. We will identify what the following terms refer to and bust some myths where the terminology is misleading: Eastern vs. Western Yiddish, Modern Yiddish vs. Old and Middle Yiddish, Southeastern / Northeastern / Central Yiddish, Soviet Yiddish, Lithuanian (litvish) vs. Galician (galitsyaner) Yiddish, Russian vs. Polish Yiddish, Hungarian Yiddish, Hassidic Yiddish, Theater Language, Potato Yiddish, Daytshmerish («Germanized») Yiddish, Standard and Literary Yiddish, Broken Yiddish, Learned Yiddish, and YIVO Yiddish.
This lecture is part of YIVO’s Yiddish Civilization Lecture Series.
