אינדזליאַנער

Yiddish

Etymology

From אינדזל (indzl) +‎ ־ער (-er). The inserted ־ליאַנ־ (-lyan-) component is likely due to influence from Belarusian астраўля́нін (astrawljánin), dialectal Russian островля́нин (ostrovljánin) and other related East Slavic dialects. Compare also גאַליציאַנער (galitsyaner) for the Slavic-influenced ־אַנער (-aner) ending.
