Hans den BestenJiddisch Hebreeuws in Nederlands en Bargoens Abstract -- Dutch Bargoens (often referred to as "thieves' cant") and related cryptolects contain a considerable amount of Yiddish vocabulary of Hebrew-Aramaic stock. The phonology of these words demonstrates a great resemblance to the phonology of Semitic words in Dutch Yiddish as described by Hartog Beem. Yet, there are also differences. These are due to adaptations to Dutch phonology, intrusions from German Rotwelsch and Ashkenazic Hebrew, and to non-standard West Yiddish phonology as can be detected in Yiddish words in Post-Yiddish Dutch and German and in Rotwelsch and German dialects.
