JEWISH ENGLISH or "HEBONICS"
The encino School Board has declared Jewish English a second language. Backers of the move say the district is the first in the nation to recognize Hebonics as the language of the American Jew.
Here are some descriptions of the characteristics of the language, and samples of phrases in standard English and Hebonics.
Hebonics hardens consonants at the ends of words: Thus "Hand" becomes "Handt".
The letter "W" is always pronounced as if it were a "V". Thus, "Walking" becomes "Valking".
"R" soundsa re transformed into a gutteral utterance that is virtually impossible to spell in English Is it "ghraining" "alrgheady"?
Questions are always answered with questions:
English: "How do you feel?"
Hebonics: "How should I feel?"
The subject is offten placed at the end of a sentence after a pronoun has been used at the beginning:
"She dances beautifully, that girl."
The sarcastic regetition of words by adding "SH" to the front is used for emphasis:
Mountains becomes "Shmountains"
Turtle becomes "Shmurtle"
Usage Comparisons:
English Hebonics
"He Walks Slowly" "Like a fly in the ointment he walks"
"You're SEXY" (Unknown Concept)
"Sorry, I don't know the time" "What do I look like, a clock??"
