Two-tiered Relexification in Yiddish: Jews, Sorbs, Khazars, and the Kiev-Polessian Dialect


Overview

Claiming that Yiddish was created when Judaized Sorbs first relaxified their language to High German between the 9th and 12th centuries, this book asserts that by the 15th century, the descendants of the Judaized Khazars also relaxified their Kiev-Polessian (northern Ukrainian and southern Belarusian) speech to Yiddish and German. Yiddish thus uses a mixed West-East Slavic grammar and suggests that converted Khazars were a major componnet in the Ashkenazic ethnogenesis.
