Thank you Paul,
I personally know German graduate students who study Yiddish,
but this is not what I meant. What I did mean is that I object to the
term
Judendeutsch. Yiddish is an old language, built on old German, Hebrew,
Aramaic and Slavic words, with recent additions of general
international terminology
and modern Hebrew words for new technologies.
I am currently attending a conference on Yiddish ethnography,
some of the lectures are given in Yiddish and today one lecturer
speaking in Yiddish
called a computer "machshev", The speaker is not an Israeli.
If Yiddish is to be called "Judendeutsch", English should be called
"English-French".
