Contemporary Hasidic Yiddish speakers perceive a distinction between “Hungarian” and “Polish” Yiddish. This article explores that distinction by examining the Yiddish of the Bobover Hasidic community, the largest “Polish” Hasidic group in the United States; the Yiddish of its “Hungarian” counterpart, Satmar, and its rootedness in the Unterland Hungarian Yiddish was demonstrated by Krogh (2012), reflecting the origins of the Satmar dynasty. But is Bobover Yiddish similarly rooted in western Galician Yiddish? Interviews with informants from the Bobover community reveal a mixed picture. All showed phonological features of non-Hungarian Central Yiddish, but all featured “Hungarian” vocabulary. While most of the informants’ grandparents were from interwar Poland, several had grandparents from the Unterland region; one-third identified their spouses as “Hungarian” or were members of “Hungarian” Hasidic communities. This shows the permeability of the two groups, leading to a mixing of features, which creates the need for shibboleths as clear markers of identity.

当代哈西迪奇·意第绪语使用者将“匈牙利语”和“波兰语”意第绪语区分开。本文通过考察美国最大的“波兰”哈西迪团体Bobover Hasidic社区的意第绪语来探讨这种区别。Krogh（2012）证明了其“匈牙利”对应语Satmar的意第绪语及其在Unterland匈牙利语意第绪语中的扎根，反映了Satmar王朝的起源。但是Bobover Yiddish是否同样扎根于西方的加利西亚Yiddish吗？来自Bobover社区的线人的采访显示出好坏参半。所有人都表现出非匈牙利中央意第绪语的语音特征，但都具有“匈牙利”词汇。尽管大多数线人的祖父母来自两次世界大战之间的波兰，但其中一些人还是来自Unterland地区的祖父母。三分之一的人将其配偶确定为“匈牙利人”，或者是“匈牙利”哈西迪克社区的成员。这显示了两组的渗透性，导致特征混合，这就需要使用shibboleths作为明确的身份标记。
