“A little off topic here, but an interesting observation about yiddish-english”

Yiddish comes from German, German comes from latin, so does English, Franch, Spanish and Italian.

“gh” in German is pronounced like a cheis in yiddish so night = nacht and so on.

If you start comparing English and Yiddish most words will be almost the same.
