Is the Yiddish language really moribund? Or has some been revived somewhere?
How can I find and learn Yiddish and become fluent in a dialect of it? What are some of your favourite Yiddish authors?
I like Cynthia Ozick. I am looking to learn more of the Yiddish theatre and literature of the immigrants in the New World.

i think all judaic languages are in trouble except hebrew. for example, i speak cuevil (judeo-portuguese). i am one of only a couple thousand who still speaks it and the number is declining fast. if you are sincerely interested in learning yiddish, try finding info for classes at a language school like berlitz or post adds for tutoring. if you are ever interested in further conversation on jewish languages, let me know. Bom Maçal a Ti! (good luck)

You can find Orthodox neighborhoods all over the US, that is where you can learn Yiddish. Or you can get a book, a lot of books and software offer Yiddish as a language.

There are neighborhoods in New York and in Jerusalem where Yiddish is still used day-to-day.
