Bellamoor Ăn Yidiș (locally ăn Yidiș ăg Balmăr or ăn Balmăriș) originates from the Eastern US city of Bellamoor or Bală Mur (Ḷbāḷdimōra in Palkhan; same location and same local pronunciation "Ballmer" as our Baltimore). It is now the most common Ăn Yidiș dialect spoken in Japan.

Bellamoor Ăn Yidiș sounds like a Satmar Yiddish accent, in Ăn Yidiș but unlike Standard Ăn Yidiș it lacks "umlaut" of Proto-ĂnY *a before slender consonants, hence 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.

ă > o > u; u, î, ü > often i; /r/ is uvular; both l and ł are dark L and can even be broad Philly L. ie = Modern Wdm ie

mi, ti for Standard ĂnY me, tu

Nes tă Zie ni tosi crihi ă nyev 's 'n tal — v' 'n tal nyu-feyrmlță 's fulv, 's vă dochădis ă cidăch 'n tohim, 's v' 'n șpirăd a Zie ă snuv șģien nă hișģn — tă Zie ni ru: "Reyv suls ni bi un!" 'S tă suls ni bi un. Tă Zie ni feyç 'n suls, găr ma e; 's tă Zie ni zeli izărn suls 's 'n dochădis. Tă Zie ni tig eynm "la" dăn suls, 's 'n dochădis tu șe ni tig eynm "ayșă" du. 'S v' erăv e 's vă madn i, la eyhăd.

The present tense auxiliary תּאָ is pronounced tu when stressed (when a subject pronoun follows or when used as "yes") and t' or when unstressed (when a noun follows).
