	Yinglish - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Their spoken (but not written) language is a type of mixed language that is fundamentally English but with heavy influence of Hebrew and Yiddish in grammar and lexicon.
		In addition to actual loanwords, Yinglish uses English words as literal translations of their Yiddish original and not necessarily in the sense that other English speakers would.
		Famous features of Yinglish include expressions such as "eating by..." instead of "eating at..." and the frequent use of Hebrew verbs conjugated with the English to be (for example, "to be misyaesh" for "to give up").

	Talk:Yinglish - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		I've heard "Yinglish" used to mean "English characterized by a lot of Yiddish loanwords", which unlike Yeshivish is widely used by non-Jews: on "Punk'd", Ashton Kutcher once said "Fathers always seem to know when some guy wants to shtup their daughter" and you can't get much more goyish than a farm boy from Iowa.
		There is currently Yinglish, Yeshivish, List of English words of Yiddish origin, Yiddish words and phrases used by English speakers, and a very small list in Yiddish language.
		Yinglish is described throughout as a language, but that seems far too formal a term for what is essentially a variety of English.

	Yinglish (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Yinglish is a humorous means of describing the distinctive way certain ultra-Orthodox Jews in America speak English among themselves.
		Their spoken (but not written) language contains varying amounts of Hebrew language and Yiddish and uses English words as literal translations of their Yiddish original and not necessarily in the sense that other English speakers would.
		While no serious research has been conducted on Yinglish, it seems to be one means for an insular community to maintain its sense of identity within itself, while adopting external cultural norms such as language.

		Speakers of Yinglish know the phrase "the [or "a"] whole megillah," which comes from the Yiddish idiom di [or a] gantse megillah, i.e., "the [or "a"] long, complicated matter." "Don't give me a whole megillah," you might say to someone whose drawn-out story you do not want to hear.
		In both Yiddish and Yinglish the "whole" can be dropped and the phrase shortened to "Don't give me a megillah," and in ordinary American English, too, where "megillah" has been gaining currency over the years, both forms are found.
		Yinglish speakers may wince to hear "megillah" used in the sense of "excitement," but there's not much they can do about it.

		According to Howard Schollman, linguistics professor at New York University and renowned Yinglish scholar, the sentence structure of Yinglish derives from middle and eastern European language patterns, as well as Yiddish.
		Schollman says that Yinglish is a superb linguistic vehicle for expressing sarcasm or skepticism.
		Another Yinglish pattern is moving the subject of a sentence to the end and its pronoun to the beginning: "It's beautiful, that dress." Schollman says one also sees the Yinglish verb moved to the end of the sentence.

		Professor Joshua A. Fishman says, ''Yinglish' is a variety of English influenced by Yiddish (lexically, particularly, but also grammatically and phonetically).
		In the case of non-Jews the original Yiddish meaning may no longer be known and a related metaphoric or contextual meaning is intended...Since the variety is only used...by speakers who can always speak 'proper English'.
		Yinglish is never a mother tongue acquired by the usual process of intergenerational transmission.

		And for those aurally attuned listeners who appreciate Katz's sly Yinglish re-voicings of the dominant lyrics and the tones of 1950s American popular culture, the klezmer-inspired interludes, heard on every Katz number, signal a formal intervention, a musical return of the repressed in the shape of a bouncy klezmer freylakh.
		If, according to the great parodist Sid Caesar, Katz "looked at music through Jewish eyes," Katz's particular angle of vision was indeed shaped by the distinctive traditions of Jewish foodways and popular music he inherited.
		Katz's "Hit Parade" high-jackings represent a high point in a major strain of Jewish American imagination: In the inspired, meshugene musical antics of his Yinglish world we encounter the power of parody as a mode of subcultural revenge, the pleasure of parody as a mode of Jewish intimacy.

		"'Yinglish Strophes V' is part of a series of poems that investigates the felicities of signification arising from how those who spoke Yiddish before they learned English transport Yiddish syntax to their new language.
		However, in these poems, I'm trying to disrupt linear narration or meditation traditionally associated with such 'immigrant' literary representation.
		The term 'Yinglish' was coined by Leo J. Rosten, author of various books on Yiddish and Yinglish."
