Smaller languages provide new perspectives on the world. They give words to cultural phenomena, show how people communicate, and how communities form their identities.In the lecture series About Spoken Languages, five academics shed light on a smaller or less-known (and sometimes non-standardised) language.Cappadocian, Pontic &amp; Pharasiot Greek. Minor-Asian Dialects of GreekCappadocian Greek belongs, together with Pontic and Pharasiot Greek, to the Minor-Asian dialects of the Greek language. These are archaic dialects that developed during the second millennium AD and further evolved under strong influence from Turkish. About this lectureWhat do the Bible in Yiddish, old Amsterdam printing houses, and the word mesjogge have in common? How did Yiddish — the language of home and street — come into being, and how did early modern Amsterdam grow into the center of the Yiddish printing press?In this lecture, we take you from the first Yiddish texts in the Rhineland to the heyday of Amsterdam’s book printing industry. Through stories, prayers, proverbs, and early printed works, a vibrant culture comes to life — from living room to synagogue, from market to printing house. And even today, we still hear echoes of that past: words like mazzel, tof, goochem, and jatten reveal just how deeply Yiddish has penetrated the Dutch language. <ul><li>Date: Friday, 6 March</li><li>Language of instruction: Dutch</li><li>Speaker: Justus van de Kamp</li></ul> Other lectures in this series:20 March: <a href="https://taalhuisamsterdam.nl/event/over-gesproken-talen-cappadocisch-pontisch-farasiotisch-door-dr-mark-janse/" title="https://taalhuisamsterdam.nl/event/over-gesproken-talen-cappadocisch-pontisch-farasiotisch-door-dr-mark-janse/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Cappadocian, Pontic, Pharasiot</a> by Prof. Dr. Mark Janse27 March:<a href="https://taalhuisamsterdam.nl/?post_type=event&amp;amp;p=44811" title="https://taalhuisamsterdam.nl/?post_type=event&amp;amp;p=44811" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"> Catalan</a> by Dr. Eva J.
