Avi K -“Health, I just looked it up and while sevral letters are similar there are many that are totally different – and the Bosnians, being Moslems, use the Arabic alphabet.”
More of the same as before. Can’t admit you made a mistake? Some letters are the same and even ones that are different are very similar. The Yiddish and German Alpha-Bets are not even close. I posted the Alpha-bets:
Cyrillic alphabet Latin alphabet IPA value
? ? A a /a/
? ? B b /b/
? ? V v /?/
? ? G g /?/
? ? D d /d/
? ? ? ? /d?/
? ? E e /?/
? ? Z z /z/
? ? I i /i/
? ? J j /j/
? ? K k /k/
? ? L l /l/
? ? Lj lj /?/
? ? M m /m/
? ? N n /n/
? ? Nj nj /?/
? ? O o /?/
? ? P p /p/
? ? R r /r/
? ? S s /s/
? ? T t /t/
? ? ? ? /t?/
? ? U u /u/
? ? F f /f/
? ? H h /x/
? ? C c /ts/
? ? ? ? /t?/
As far as the rest of your post -you finally admit that there are those that hold it’s (Yiddish) a separate language. It’s a Machlokes. So I can hold it’s a different language.
