 DESCRIPTION
We are also using DATR to develop a comprehensive generative morphology for Yiddish.
In recent years, it has been successfully applied in a number of domains, most saliently as a means of generating natural-language morphology from minimal lexical information.
This will serve as the basis for two programs that will be made available as on-line Web resources: the first of these will return a complete morpholexical analysis for any Yiddish word entered as input; the second will check an input word's spelling.

We are currently using DATR to model the declensional systems of various Old and Middle Indic languages and to develop a comprehensive generative morphology for Yiddish.
In recent years, it has been successfully applied in a number of domains, most saliently as a means of generating natural-language morphology from minimal lexical information.
DATR, a formal language developed by Roger Evans and Gerald Gazdar in England, is designed for the compact representation of lexical knowledge.

 Encyclopedia: Dzhidi language
The Karaim language is a Turkic language with Hebrew influences, in a similar manner to Yiddish or Ladino.
Over this period, the morphology of the language was simplified from the complex conjugation and declension system of Old Persian to the almost completely regularized morphology and rigid syntax of Modern Persian, in a manner often described as paralleling the development of English.

 Language Change
language change - the structural evolution of a language over time; some languages die out (i.e., Manx, Tocharian) and other languages emerge as a consequence of cumulative changes in phonology, morphology, syntax, and semantics; here are two sources of language change:
Third or fourth generation Jews know phrases and words in Yiddish, but cannot speak Yiddish.
language maintenance - The continued use by a speech community of its traditional language despite the presence of another, usually socially dominant language.

 The Difference in Dialect (from language) --  Britannica Student Encyclopedia
The word comes from the Ancient Greek dialektos “discourse, language, dialect,” which is derived from dialegesthai “to discourse, talk.” A dialect may be distinguished from other dialects of the same language by features of any part of the linguistic structure—the phonology, morphology, or syntax.
Present and earlier forms of German, English, Dutch-Flemish, Afrikaans, Yiddish, Frisian, Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, Icelandic, and Faeroese belong to the family of languages called Germanic.
Other Rhaetian dialects are Engadine, spoken in Switzerland in the Inn River valley; Ladin, spoken in the Alto Adige and Dolomites regions of northern Italy; and Friulian, spoken north of...

 Dutch language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dutch does have a relatively close genetic relationship to the descendants of Middle English (such as Modern English and Scots), since both belong to the West Germanic language family and both lack most or all of the High German consonant shift that characterizes the descendants of Middle High German (such as Modern German and Yiddish).
Dutch is grammatically similar to German, for example in syntax and verb morphology.
Dutch is spoken by practically all inhabitants of the Netherlands and Flanders, the northern half of Belgium.

 Oral Literature of the Sephardic Jews
[4] The Eastern dialect is typified by its greater conservatism, its retention of numerous Old Spanish features in phonology, morphology, and lexicon, and its numerous borrowings from Turkish and, to a lesser extent, also from Greek and South Slavic.
Both dialects have (or had) numerous borrowings from Hebrew, especially in reference to religious matters, but the number of Hebraisms in everyday speech or writing is in no way comparable to that found in Yiddish.
[10] The reactions of Spanish intellectuals to the “discovery” of the Hispano-Jewish community in Morocco, following the Spanish occupation of Tetuán in 1860, are curiously insensitive to the historical, cultural, linguisitc, and folkloric significance of what at least some of them had even witnessed firsthand.

 Claudia Grümpel ACQUISITION OF GERMAN SYNTAX BY SPANISH ADVANCED LEARNERS
Traditional analyses of verb movement by Koster (1986), Den Besten (1989) and Weermann (1989) were based on the assumption that Germanic languages sharing the same asymmetry patterns - like German, Dutch and Yiddish - derive their syntactic structures from an underlying subject-object-verb order.
Features associated with inflectional morphology are only important for syntax and are not legitimate objects at the interface level.
We might recall that in the MP, finite verbs are generated in VP with their verbal flexion and also that their lexical information decides whether a feature is weak or strong (generated in the functional head AgrS, AgrO or T).

[5] The North African dialect was, until the early 20th century, also highly conservative; its abundant Colloquial Arabic loan words retained most of the Arabic phonemes as functional components of a new, enriched Hispano-Semitic phonological system.
