why can't the Yiddish experts standardize their Orthography?
Duh! It's transliteration. Yiddish is wrote in Hebrew characters. There's different conventions. You got the Hepburn, the PinYin, the Imperial and the Farnsworth. You're lucky nobody uses the Farnsworth anymore or you'd be seeing things like oai yebhalth.
