Ballmer Ăn Yidiș ( 'n Yidiș oy Balmur or 'm Balmuriș) originates from the Eastern US city of Ballmer (from בּאַלא מאָר 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 the Philadelphia area and in wider PA, it's highly innovative compared to other dialects of Ăn Yidiș.
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'

- 'm beybi 'the baby', nă beybim 'the babies'

- 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
