Reply To: Is Baghdad Jewish Arabic holy?

Its,
1. The Gemara says it (Berachot 34b).
2. A polyglot is someone who speaks many languages. It is not a language itself.
3. Rav Ovadia says that the Israeli pronunciation is the correct one. He goes on to say that the various Ashkenazi pronunciations are distortions caused by the constant expulsions in Europe. He goes on to say that Ashkenazim should junk their Galut pronunciation already.It is certainly a mistake to emphasize the next to last syllable on most words. Not to mention mistakes like “shabbosim” (even in Ashkenazis it should be “shabbassos).
4. I think that you made up “Achshavit”.
5. Plenty of crudity is found in Yiddish literature and speech. Some of I.B. Singer’s stories are cases in point.
