Yiddish is really not holy.

Yiddish is still not holy.

Finally, Yiddish isn’t holy.

Torah is holy. Mitzvos are holy. Lashon Chol (Yiddish, English, Spanish, etc) is not holy. As Rav Zalman Sorotzkin ZT”L said (last link), Focus on the 613 mitzvos we DO have, and Yiddish isn’t one of them. Bundists say it’s holy. Rav Moshe Feinstein ZT”L and Rav Zalman Sorotzkin ZT”L (2 native speakers) said it’s NOT holy. I would rather be with them than the Bundists.
