Whereas all Hasidic men talk Yiddish with one another, it is a mixed bag with women: the pious Satmar ones in Williamsburg continue to converse in Yiddish with one another on the phone, in the neighborhood, and at street corners, but such scenes are rare to behold in Borough Park. Ditto to conversations between spouses: Satmar Williamsburg couples rarely speak English, whereas Borough Park couples tend to mix it up.
