     Klaro ke djudezmo, por ser en pyedestal de lingua materna verdadera (las madres en djeneral no avlavan nada de otro) i por ser avlado de todos komo la lingua de la kaza, absorbia estas novidades de otras linguas avladas solo okazyonalmente, las expanyolizava i las guardava, no dividyendo komo la madrasta entre palavras orijinalmente suyas i las muevas, sino las abrasava a todas komo la madre.

     Of course, Judezmo, being on [the] pedestal of a real mother tongue (mother [tongues] in general say nothing about another) and being spoken by everybody at home, was absorbing other spoken languages’ novelties only on occasion, Hispanicizing and keeping them; not separating native words from new ones like a tyrannical mother, but embracing all of them like a [good] mother.
