This paper demonstrates that the language of the post-War generations of adult Haredi (that is, strictly Orthodox), primarily Hasidic, speakers of Yiddish in the major Hasidic centers worldwide lacks morphological case and gender. Elicited spoken and written data from native Haredi speakers of Yiddish from Israel and the United States, aged 18–87, and limited additional evidence from Canada and Belgium, reveal a complete absence of distinction between masculine, feminine, and neuter genders as well as between the nominative, accusative, and dative cases. While some speakers make use of a variety of morphological definite determiner and attributive adjective forms, their use is not determined by case or gender distinctions. Most of the speakers in our study have an invariable determiner pronounced as /dɛ/ or /di/, whereas the earlier case and gender suffixes on attributive adjectives have been reanalyzed as a single attributive marker, /ɛ/. These findings are consistent with our previous work on the loss of case and gender in the Hasidic Yiddish of London’s Stamford Hill and support our proposal that the Yiddish spoken in (primarily Hasidic) Haredi communities can be considered a distinct variety of the language known as Contemporary Hasidic Yiddish.*

本文表明，战后几代成年 Haredi（即严格的东正教）的语言，主要是 Hasidic，在全球主要的 Hasidic 中心讲意第绪语​​，缺乏形态和性别。从以色列和美国的 18 至 87 岁的意第绪语母语哈雷迪语使用者获得的口头和书面数据，以及来自加拿大和比利时的有限额外证据显示，男性、女性和中性性别之间以及之间完全没有区别主格、宾格和与格。虽然一些说话者使用各种形态限定词和定语形容词形式，但它们的使用不受格或性别区别的影响。我们研究中的大多数说话人都有一个不变的限定词，发音为 /dɛ/ 或 /di/，而较早的定语形容词上的格和性别后缀已被重新分析为单个定语标记 /ɛ/。这些发现与我们之前关于伦敦斯坦福山哈西德语意第绪语中案例和性别丢失的研究一致，并支持我们的建议，即在哈雷迪社区（主要是哈西德语）中使用的意第绪语可以被视为一种不同的语言，即当代语言哈西德意第绪语*
