Vermutlich haben Sie schon einmal von Pennsylvania Dutch gehört. Aber ist Ihnen auch Texas German ein Begriff? Wir schauen genauer hin, was es mit den deutschen Sprachvarietäten auf sich hat.
Informativer Artikel über in den USA gesprochene Varietäten des Deutschen. Auf dem Blog des Übersetzungsbüros Supertext finden sich neben Berichten über die eigenen geschäftlichen Erfolge gelegentlich recht interessante Texte über Sprache(n).
Aside from my own family's experiences, this is one of the inspirations behind this project. German settlers who came to Texas brought their language with them. Texas German became a dialect all its own and now it is dying. Hopefully awareness and the Texas German Dialect Project will help keep it alive in some way, shape, or form.
