Wow, aside from ‘shprakh’ that is easily understood as an English speaker.

‘Is a dialect with (an) army and flotilla/navy’

This is when you realize that English is a Germanic language.

"Shprakh" is from the same root as "speak," so the literal, word-for-word translation is, "A speak is a dialect with an army and flotilla."
