@600 Kilo Bear: cute.
Alternatively, you could just learn German (e.g. via Rosetta stone) and modify it slightly:
(1) “a” becomes “o” or “u”
(2) “o” becomes “oy” or “ey”
(3) “ei” becomes “ai”
(4) “ch” is always guttural like khof or ches
(5) 5-15% of other words get replaced with Hebrew/Aramaic derivatives
and you have something that will pass for Yiddish.
Protip: learn Viennese or Franconian German and (1)-(4) are unnecessary.
(BTW I am being sarcastic, but only slightly)
