Verse:Irta/Judeo-Mandarin/Ballmer

Ballmer Ăn Yidiș ( 'n Idiș oy Balmur or 'm Balmuriș) originates from the Eastern US city of Ballmer (from בּאלא מוֹר Bală Mur 'Big Village', Ḷbāḷdimōra in Palkhan; same location and same local pronunciation /boəlmər/ as our Baltimore). It's the most common Ăn Yidiș dialect in Haredi communities in Apple PIE US.

Balmuriș is highly innovative compared to other dialects of Ăn Yidiș:

• Mutations have lexicalized like in Eevo.
• Ballmer Ăn Yidiș is tonal, having developed rising tone from lost gh: 'beautiful' is břeé /pZě~pjě/ (Standard Ăn Yidiș břo, Proto-Ăn Yidiș brèğə)
• It has a 5-vowel system like Yiddish.

Ballmer Ăn Yidiș sounds a bit like a Satmar Yiddish accent in Ăn Yidiș. Unlike Standard Ăn Yidiș it lacks "umlaut" of Proto-ĂnY *a before slender consonants, hence MIr baile > bală as opposed to Standard ĂnY belă. It has lost gender and mutations, but h- is added to vowel initial plural nouns and adjectives.

Balmuriș noun plurals are regularly -im if animate, -ăn if inanimate:

• 'm břeythin 'the judge', nă břeythinim 'the judges'
• ă leynăv 'the child (not necessarily one's offspring)', nă leynăvim 'the children'
• 'm beybi 'the baby', nă beybim 'the babies'
• 'n Yidăch 'the Jew', nă Yidim 'the Jews'
• ă royșin 'the rose', nă royșinăn 'the roses'
• 'n ofis 'the office', nă hofisăn 'the offices'
• 'n hufș 'break; free time', nă hufșăn 'breaks'

(They're gonna use -im for everything in a hundred years, aren't they?)

• ă > o > u; oa > oy; ea > e > ey > ay > aa
• u, î, ü > often i
• /r/ is uvular
• ie = ii, ua = uu

mi, ti for Standard ĂnY me, tü

ă often omitted in conjunctions; ă syncopes a lot
