Verse:Irta/Judeo-Mandarin/Ballmer
Ballmer Ăn Yidiș ( 'n Yidiș oy Bală Mur or 'm Balămuriș) 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 died out in Baltimore itself but 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 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
- u, î, ü > often i
- /r/ is uvular
- ie = Modern Wdm ie
mi, ti for Standard ĂnY me, tu

'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 tă when unstressed (when a noun follows).
