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).

Ballmer Ăn Yidiș sounds a bit like a Satmar Yiddish accent in Ăn Yidiș, but 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.

  • 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

Nes tă Zii 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 Zii ă snuv șģiin nă hișģn — tă Zii ni ru: "Reyv suls ni bi un!" 'S tă suls ni bi un. Tă Zii ni feyç 'n suls, găr ma e; 's tă Zii ni zeli izărn suls is izărn dochădis. Tă Zii 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).
