Have you any idea of were Yiddish got the word Mensch from? And the relationship
between Yiddish and German?
If you don't know the history of the languages, please don't try to invent it.
Mensch is a very old word. Close relatives to it is in all Germanic languages
also the Anglo-Saxon one that later became English.
To get some information of Yiddish you might look here:
"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yiddish_language".
This discussion of the word Mensch and what affiliation it has is rather
futile.
That's all Folks.
Das ist alles.

The Oxford Dictionary defines Mensch as informal American year 1930.
I think one might call it an Americanism.
Is it ever used in Britain.
