		Eastern Yiddish includes three major dialects: Northeastern or Litvish (spoken in the Baltic region, Belarus, and adjacent areas), Mideastern or Poylish (spoken in Poland and other areas of Central Europe), and Southeastern or Ukrainish (spoken in Ukraine and the Balkans).
		Harkavy, as other of the early standardizers, regards Litvish as the "leading branch".
		YIVO is often seen as the initiating agent in giving phonetic preference to Litvish, but Harkavy's work predates YIVO's and he was not exclusively describing personal preference.

	A Little Bit About Me
		Their approach is the classical "Litvish" approach, which is to focus heavily on each passage of Talmud, delving into the commentaries at length and depth.
		Most especially, Litvisher yeshivos tend to focus on a great many commentaries from the more recent past, written by Rabbis from within the past four hundred years or so.
		"Litvish" means "Lithuanian." The movement that popularized that style of Talmud study was started in Lithuania, and was spearheaded by the great Rabbi Chaim of Volozhin (a city in Lithuania), who was a student of that extraordinary Rabbinical genius, Rabbi Eliyahu of Vilna (another city in Lithuania, now called Vilnius).

		Lithuanian Jews (in Yiddish known as Litvish (adjective) or Litvaks (noun)) are Ashkenazi Jews who were historically associated with Lithuania.
		Historically, Lithuanian Jews have been associated with a particular set of teaching styles and religious beliefs, so that the term Lithuanian Jew, or (in Yiddish) Litvish or (in Hebrew) Litaim may mean someone who follows these approaches, rather than someone from Lithuania.
		Of main Yiddish dialects in Europe, the Litvisher Yiddish (Lithuanian Yiddish) dialect was spoken by Jews in Lithuania, Latvia, and Belarus (Russia), and in the northeastern Suwalki region of Poland.

		Some have claimed that the influx of hungarians into yeshivas changed the litvish hashkafas.My point is that skver adopted a kollel due to the influence of the litvish, without a large inlux of litvish into their community.
		Im not hateful toward the Litvish world at all, quite the contrary I have alot of admiration and respect for the litvish world which produced many giants of torah and intellect.
		My point still stands, namely that the litvish world of today is alot different than the litvish world of yesterday and this is in large part due to the Hungarian Kannai influence.

		Then there is the litvish version, which has eben adopted by almost all non-chasiddish ppl.
		The yekkish version is also almost dead, even though the IRG in zurich is still holding on strong, but the bochurim/yingerleit (that I knew/know) at least are embarassed to use it in public.
		I also failed to mention that some chassidish ppl like karlin-stolin and breslov also have the litvish sounding havara which is from their litvish/russian background.

		Thence (I guess) Mikhl Herzog's suggestion that the names Leybe, Hirshe, Bere are back- formations: speakers of this type of litvish Yiddish heard "ikh reyd mit meyshn" and knew that the guy's name was _meyshe_, and also heard "ikh reyd mit leybn" and reanalyzed his name as _leybe (bere, hirshe, etc>_.
		BUT: these names are common in other litvish subdialects, subdialects in which /yungen/ 'youths, [noun]' and /yungn/ 'young, [adj., acc/dat]' are phonetically distinct.
		And if a name already ends in /e/, a hypocoristic may be formed by inserting /k/ between the /e/ and the preceding material (e.g.

		Poylishe yidn are well-known for _nish'_ and from litvishe yidn, you are bound to here (predominantly, always?) _nit_, and loss of the /t/ when _nit_ meets the prefix _ge-_.
		I said "pseudo-litvakes" because, in my Yiddish which has most of the vowels of litvish Yiddish, _nit_ and _nisht_ are interchangeable.
		Why Soviet Yiddish should be so gung-ho over them is beyond me, though.) But notwithstanding my "litvisher yikhes" -- most of my vowels, that is -- I also have a thing or two that a true-blue litvak doesn't, and that's the sound [ow] which alternates in free variation with [oy], as in [arojs] and [arows].

		It is not a Hasidic but rather a Litvish movement without clear membership.
		Adherents do not view themselves as being part of a specific group, rather they view themselves as followers of an ideology - that of being guardians of the city (Jerusalem), which is the literal translation of Neturei Karta.
		For the most part, the members of Neturei Karta are descended from Hungarian Jews who settled in Jerusalem's Old City in the early nineteenth century, and from Lithuanian Jews who were students of the Gaon of Vilna, who had settled earlier.

		Since you claimed to be of Litvish descent, it's sad that you are so ready to do so and believe such bad things about your mishpocho and source community.
		I deliberately inserted "and all the other Litvishe frumkeit" to indicate that the Yeshivas were not the be-all and end-all of frumkeit in Lita.
		However, to imply that it is a primarily a Litvish phenomenon strains credulity.

		Or whether the "ey" pronunciation common in Litvish for "oy" in the standard is a more recent evolution in the common speech of the region.
		I seriously doubt whether the preference for Litvish forms in the standard was imposed arbitrarily by a small number of scholars in the 20th century.
		Certainly, it is the standard language that should be taught in schools and that should be used for intellectual discourse.

		The litvish community does express disapproval of chabad, and in the wrong hands that can often tend towards animosity.
		In its early manifestations, when the Rebbe was still alive, the concerns were, at least primarily, litvish.
		Those who are religious practicing Jews, the main emphasis is to expose them to the teachings of Chassidus and not to have them change their minhagim.

		Examples of Litvish Kiruv groups are Partners In Torah, Gateways, and Oorah, to mention three that come to mind.

		In truth, every community has such Rabbonim, who were usually not a part of the Litvishe political system.
		R Hirshprung is not a good example because he was FAR closer to Chabad (frequently attended farbrengens, signed letters that any other stam-friend would not have signed in a million years, no matter how ill) than the closest litvish rov.
		The two discussed Halachic problems and the meeting is considered to be a very sigificant one since it's been almost 20 years since the two circles, chassidic and Litvish, had cut off ties.

		My advice was for him to change drachim in hashkafa (way of viewing) from chassidus to a shtikel (emotional chassidic) to a somewhat more litvish (rational) approach.
		It means we will call doctors sooner, not waiting to get treatment, ashamed of ones own children.
		It means even nineteen-year-olds will call Hatzala (local Orthodox emergency service) or 911--not nineteen-year-olds telling the sick one to go to a more litvish shiur (rational approach).

		If you want to hear a native speaker do this, listen to the rabbi in the final scene of the movie, "A Fiddler On The Roof", in which he is chanting the kaddish, and you'll hear "v'imeri umayn".
		Perhaps due to the effects of Litvish assimilation on my grandparents' pronunciations, I find no consistency in differences between yud-yud and yud-yud-patakh variations.
		If I consistently pronouce a patakh-less yud-yud as either ey or ay, it does not match the way they spoke, and the standard spelling seems to match most of the time.
