Talk:Yiddish dialects

message: I think it would be prudent to split this article into seperate ones for Eastern and Western Yiddish, possibly with seperate articles for Poylish, Ukranish, Litvish, and American Yiddish. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by CharlesMartel (talk • contribs) 19:33, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

message: "it may be noted that modern Standard Yiddish is not used by mother-tongue speakers": I very much like your article and agree with the thrust of this statement and the paragraph that includes it; however, it is factually incorrect. I would change to ". . . used by very few mother-tongue speakers." Zackarysholemberger 05:13, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Never with exceptions

message: This article is supposed to be the place to find information about the differences between the various Yiddish dialects; the biggest amount of variation is in the phonology, but --- apart from some generalisations in the well-known Birnbaum quote --- there is not an iota of phonological information here. I could supply some (someday), but mostly from the perspective of the "Central" (Polish-Galician) variety. Any other ideas? Jakob37 04:25, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: You might want to take a look at the article on Yiddish phonology. The need for its expansion to be fully descriptive of the phonological attributes of at least the three major Eastern dialects has long been noted, as well as the fact that this would require a good deal of both knowledge and time from an author who has yet to come forward. There has also been extensive discussion about whether the resulting material ought or ought not to be merged with the present article — something which cannot really be determined until the additional material is actually at hand. --Futhark|Talk 05:14, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: This article needs to include descriptions of what the differences between the dialects are, whether it be phonological, morpholical, syntactic, or lexical. It can't just say "there are differences" and then not give any indication what they are! -Branddobbe (talk) 07:46, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

message: Hello. I am pretty familiar with the East Ukrainian Yiddish which in this particle is under the Polish dialect. They are not the same. For example, in Eastern Ukrain they did not pronounce the initial h, the word snow is shney, not snay/shnay as in Poland etc.
I would like to describe it, if no one minds.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Daniel.nuriyev (talk • contribs) 03:20, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
