Abstract
This research was carried out within the jewish community in the city of Belo Horizonte, in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, with the aim of gathering and analyzing data on the remnants of Yiddish in language commonly used by families of Ashkenazi ascendence. This study carries an important and urgent undertone, as it depends on living speakers of a language currently classified as endangered, with only few speakers in the country. The research was conducted through a series of interviews, followed by sociolinguistic surveys applied to descendents of Ashkenazi jewish families, independently of their self-declared knowledge of the Yiddish language, building from the assumption that the process might trigger knowledge that had been deactivated by the lack of usage while and, at the same time, uncovering lexical items retained in non-Yiddish-speaking generations. This study sheds light into the current scenario of Yiddish language in Belo Horizonte, while threading a registry, so that the memory resonating from the Yiddish language does not disappear due to its ever growing absence in the language of future speakers.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
