Jothar – Indeed, Yiddish is not “intrinsically” holy, as is Loshon Hakodesh (which is certainly the loshon of the highest kedusha), it obtained that status by its usage.

And what happened to that acquired kedusah when Yiddish was, at the same time, used for commerce, the writing of haskalah literature, the writing of plays, the translation of non-Jewish literature, Shakespeare amongst it, writing outright heresy etc.? C’mon Joe, say it’s so. Yiddish has no intrinsic special significance.
