		Use of the Western Yiddish dialect began to decline in the 18th century, as The Enlightenment and the Haskalah (Jewish Enlightenment) led German Jews to view Yiddish as a "corrupt German".

		In the native Germanic vocabulary of Yiddish, the differences between standard German and Yiddish pronunciations are mainly in the vowels and diphthongs.

	Studying language typology by means of corpora
		One of the assumptions in the universalist research is the belief that all the languages of the world, ancient or modern are intrinsically similar and exhibit similar complexity of system that, although different on the surface goes back to similar deep structure.
		Following this principle we can compare on a par Modern High German and Modern English and Modern High German and Old or Middle High German, as all these are considered independent stages of languages which reveal the same basic underlying structure.
		For the purpose of the present study, though, dialectal forms had to be standardised to one sole form and spelling irregularities, rising from various scribal traditions and lack of tradition in many case, had to be normalised.

		In the Northern German dialect, a hufner is the owner of a hide of land, a hide being about 60 to 100 acres.

		Prejudice against dialect and brogue is one of the hardest snakes for reason to strangle.
