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.
