 The Khoisan Language Family
It is fair to say that of all the language families of the world, the Khoisan languages are among the most neglected by language scholars and the least studied.
The language is used at all levels of education and in the media.
Many of the Khoisan languages have five vowels /i/, /e/, /a/, /o/, /u/ which can be produced with additional features, such as nasalization, pharyngealization, and different voice qualities such as breathy and creaky voice, sometimes resulting in up to 40 different vowels.

  Shua, Ana María   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Born in Buenos Aires in 1951, Ana María Shua was educated in the city and graduated from the Universidad de Buenos Aires with an MA in Liberal Arts.
Soy paciente, Shua's first novel, exposes the bureaucratic delays and entanglements and lack of concern for the individual manifested by the medical profession in Argentina, the hospital being posited as a metaphor for the state during the Proceso.
Conversely, however, Shua also examines the possible joys of motherhood, female orgasm within a heterosexual relationship and, in ironic counterpoint, female auto-eroticism, underlining the significance of the latter by associating it with a narrative technique akin to stream-of-consciousness.

Shua’s works, in general, and those examined here specifically, proffer a representation of a social context as partial and incomplete as “all constructions of reality are necessarily partial and imply acts of selecting and privileging certain aspects in order to gain rhetorical power in the cultural conversation” (Anderson 16).
Preservation of language is one way the minority culture can confront the homogeneity of the dominant culture; unfortunately, as in the case of the Rimetka family, and many other immigrant families, the heritage language is lost with the first generation due to the intolerance of the educational system.
Shua’s voice is unique to herself and to her personal experiences, and does not attempt to represent all the Jewish immigrant experiences in their many facets, real or fictitious.

Shua is careful to establish from the beginning that this is a book of recipes that are Eastern European in origin and that it does not contain either anecdotes or dishes from the Sephardic or Middle Eastern traditions.
Shua’s Risas y emociones de la cocina judía is closely related to the community type cookbook, destined for an audience of peers (as she made patently clear from the outset), and meant to be read as a cultural document, as well as to be used pragmatically as a cookbook.
Since Shua adheres more closely to the discourse mode of a community cookbook, she includes a generous amount of what Cotter designates as “evaluation clauses,” that is, phrases that provide commentary outside of, or in addition to, the imperative instructions.

Like many of the writers of her generation, Shua’s earliest works of narrative fiction were published during the tumultuous years of the military dictatorship; however, her literary career actually began much earlier, at the tender age of sixteen with the publication of an award-winning volume of poetry entitled El sol y yo (1967).
Although Shua has published in diverse genre, certain traits remain constant throughout her work, especially the use of humor and irony to comment on the human condition, and more specifically, on the values, habits and daily life of the Argentine family and its society.
The recipe for Shua’s success in the art of miniature fiction consists of her ingenious blending of precise language, incisive humor and incredible imagination, resulting in a unique style and execution of the “short short”.

 Biblioteca Digital del INEAM - INTERAMER
Shua is not principally a Jewish writer in the sense of making Jewishness a problematic central issue in her works.
The bulk of her fiction is characterized by an urbane sophistication concerning the day-to-day difficulties of surviving as a human being, the profound vagaries of interpersonal relationships, and the general ineptness of individuals to negotiate the murky waters of social and institutional life (Arango-Keeth).
Language conflict is an abiding feature of the immigrant experience, and it is often an eloquent marker of the difficulties of accommodation, the nature of assimilation, and the negotiation undertaken between different cultural establishments.

 Gods Name Yahweh or Jesus
This is most assuredly true, but it needs to be made clear that there are two primary languages in which the Bible was inspired, not one (with the exception of some sections in the OT that were written in Aramaic, thus making three).
There is even an older grammar of the Hebrew language which existed in Moses’ day, which was revised around 1350 B.C. We know that the Pentateuch had to have had its grammar revised to fit the new form because the grammar of OT is more or less uniform.
Seeing that it was not their native tongue, and considering the vast amount of people from diverse areas that were speaking the language, many regional differences began to develop in the language.

 YAHUSHUA article at Wikipedia
Since their appearance, the Society of JESUS has promoted the use of the Latinization of the Greek letters IESOUS, assuming the disciples of the Messiah of Israel had written the Name in those Greek letters.
The idea of explaining the source of the form JESUS using only the Greek and Latin fails to address the fact that the original Name is actually Hebrew, and carries a meaning in that language.
If we go to the Greek language, and attempt to spell YAHUSHUA, the first thing we notice is that we cannot do it for the lack of two letter/sounds: the Y and the SH.

All English speakers know that there was no J even in the English language until recently; which is why they used to say Iesu or Iesus.
Above all, westernization of our thought, and in particular the germanization of our tongue has subjected the acculturate Hebrew language into a kind of morphosism that readily accepts the attribution of other sounds as legitimate in Hebrew.

Rather, names are transliterated, which is to say that spellings and pronunciations are applied that most accurately reflect the original language of the name.
If one travels abroad, their name doesn't change at each border crossed, even if there is a different form of the same name native to the language of that country.
As is commonly the case when transliterating or transcribing names from one language to another, the Greek alphabet was incapable of precisely rendering a true phonetic representation of His Hebrew name, and the same problem was exacerbated when Latin renditions were introduced from the Greek.

 Yiddish Glossary - Association of Messianic Congregations
Yiddish is a highly plastic and assimilative language, rich in idioms, and possessing remarkable freshness, pithiness, and pungency.
An important factor that also contributed to the decline in usage was the adaptation by Jews to the languages predominant in the United States and in the Soviet Union.
In Israel the Hebrew language is predominant, and Yiddish is a second language, cultivated largely by members of the older generation who have an eastern European background; only a few modern Israeli poets write in Yiddish.

A study of the etymology of the word "Jesus", in even as mundane a source as the Merriam-Webster dictionary, reveals that this name does not come directly from the Greek "Iesous" but derives from the early-Latin "Iesu", the "I" pronounced initially as a "Y" producing Yay-soo.
Names aren't translated from one language to another, if it is possible to transliterate.
However, translation from one language to another frequently results in a change in the context and, almost always, the nuances of the original text!
