Ashkenaz means German. Ashkenazim are German Jews (which was actually the HRE and Bohemia at the time, not strictly Germany).
Nablator, so you are saying this is a Hebrew dialect spoken by German Jews (and possibly also spoken by southeast Russians, Bohemians and Slavs by association) that is more Hebrew than Yiddish?
It would be reasonable to list them like this?
German • Yiddish • Ashkenazi-Hebrew dialect • Hebrew
I just looked at the Wiki for Ashkenazi. It describes traditional Hebrew with Ashkenazic pronunciation. So it's only a dialect in terms of sound? That would make it different from Yiddish, which has a strong infusion of German vocabulary and grammar.
What I'll do is assume Hannig is referring to a pronunciation-variant of Hebrew rather than Yiddish.
