| (documentation YinglishLanguage EnglishLanguage "The YinglishLanguage is an EnglishGroupLanguage of the UnitedStates. SIL code: YIB. ISO 639-2: gem. Population: No estimate available. Region: Also spoken in the United Kingdom. Alternate names: AMERIDISH. Comments: Bilingualism in English. Professor Joshua A. Fishman says, ''Yinglish' is a variety of English influenced by Yiddish (lexically, particularly, but also grammatically and phonetically). Any good English dictionary will now include 50-100 or more 'borrowings from Yiddish' (=Yinglish)... These forms are now used not only by Jews but by others, inversely proportionally to their distance from NYC. 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. French, Spanish, and Russian counterparts (also a Hebrew counterpart) also exist, but are more restricted in nature, both in size as well as in availability to non-Jews.' Jewish. Second language only. Also spoken in: United Kingdom. (Language name: YINGLISH.) Comments: Bilingualism in English. Professor Joshua A.
