    @600 Kilo Bear: cute.

    Alternatively, you could just learn German (e.g. via Rosetta stone) and modify it slightly:

    (1) “a” becomes “o” or “u”

    (2) “o” becomes “oy” or “ey”

    (3) “ei” becomes “ai”

    (4) “ch” is always guttural like khof or ches

    (5) 5-15% of other words get replaced with Hebrew/Aramaic derivatives

    and you have something that will pass for Yiddish.

    Protip: learn Viennese or Franconian German and (1)-(4) are unnecessary.

    (BTW I am being sarcastic, but only slightly)
