Hey, guys.
I’m not learning yiddish, nor am I jewish. But I recently remembered this song, called “Hulyet, hulyet, kinderlekh” (pardon if that’s not the correct way to write it) and wanted to share it with you. I really like this version, as it kinda gives goosebumps.
I also know the version by Zupfgeigenhansel, too.
Good stuff!
60-70% sounds about right! Yiddish is (if i remember correctly) about 50-60% germanic, with 15-20% loshn koydesh, and the rest is a mishmash of other languages (some stuff from slavic languages, for example).
