“mdg: Strawmen questions.”
No. I was merely applying logic to prove that the sevara presented does not work.
” the answer to your 3 rhetorical questions above are not all no,”
Please Explain.
“In addition to Yiddish, Ladino also has a certain sanctity to it.”
Ladino is dead. No ome speaks it today. Actually one could argue that has more kedusha than Yiddish because Ladino Sephardim have incorporated Ladino into their davening and Selihot.

I still maintain that Kedusha only comes from the Torah and Mitsvot and defined by Chazal, not from cultural practices. The Torah is written in Lashon haKodesh and comes from Hashem. Yiddish, lehavdil, comes from Edom (Germany comes from Edom. Megilla 6b).
