It's secular variant is indeed dying. But orthodox Jews still speak it to this day, and their group is growing steadily, for they have a lot of babies.It sitll won't bring back the old glory of the language, for the above reason.

Yeah, you're right there.It's basically mediaeval German, evolved a little (dropped a fair few cases), with some Polish, Czech, Russian, Hebrew and whatever else you find in there.

What you meant was that Rakefet has themusic of Margaritkelech, an old yiddish song.The Hebrew lyrics have no relation to theyiddish lyrics.

This yiddish song is being played to the music of a song called "rakefet" which is the Cyclamen flower that grows wild on the hillsides of Israel and other Middle Eastern Countries.... |
