Amish girls speaking Pennsylvania Dutch
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 พ.ย. 2022
- From TLC's "Return to Amish" series, this clip shows an interaction in Pennsylvania Dutch. Two Amish girls on their Rumspringa from Clintonville, Pennsylvania speak with their families about going to Florida.
"Nothing but hellish and of the devil" for describing Florida doesn't sound terribly off.
There are places in Pennsylvania that are like that.
I came here out of curiosity just to hear what Pennsylvania Dutch sounds like. Now I'm crying.
Why ?
@@user-qr2gd7me6c Maureen was banished from her home by her father
It doesn't all sound like that
@@user-qr2gd7me6c Did you miss the fact her dad just told her that if she decides to go live with her grandma, she shouldn’t bother ever coming back and that she should be worried about what people will say about her going to her grandma by association.. like how is that not a very horrific situation to be in?
Same! I was expecting a fun time and got traumatized. Also I’m frantically looking for the rest of the story 🍿
As a native German speaker I understood the girl much better than her parents, her German sounds a bit less slurred and less English for whatever reason
As a Floridian, yeah I would agree that its pretty hellish over here.
I was thinking that except about most of the US now, imagine when people start pumping our head that men can be women and vice versa. She’ll be running back to her parents so quickly 😂
Anyone who has been to FL learns this truth.
@@tvtvvtvt8017Whine much?
@@TheMVCohoand yet people keep moving here, especially rude northeasterners
I'm born and raised im Germany and my motherlanguage is clear German without accent and dialect. i also learned english and spanish during the time. I do understand a little bit about 50% of this Video but i must say it's a little bit listening like a mash up mix of German with German dialect accent, Switzerland German, Dutch, west/ Southwest German, Plattdeutsch (low German), danish and mixed with a bit of English accent. Interesting to listen to and if i would hear more often it's easy to learn. Seems to be spoken from a lot of amish people in the us and canada.
Schaue mir gerne weitere Videos vom Pennsylvania dutch an. Finde es interessant immer wieder neue deutsch ''abgewandelte'' Dialekt sprachen zu hören.
PA-Deitsch besteht grösstenteils aus Pfälzisch, dazwischen ist etwas alemannisch sowie deutliche englische Merkmale. Was die Amische, Mennoniten und andere sprechen ist aber nicht gleich: für mich (mit Deutsch als Drittsprache) ist das hier deutlich schwieger zu verstehen als die Sprache auf th-cam.com/video/Mqe9RlWRKbo/w-d-xo.html&
@@arvid_klintvik Das glaube ich dir gerne, insbesondere mit deutsch als Drittsprache. Das hier Englischer Einfluss besteht war ebenfalls meine Vermutung. Nicht ganz einfach als Hochdeutsch Norddeutsch sprechender zu verstehen aber es geht. Pfälzisch ist ja auch nicht für jeden Hochdeutsch sprechenden in allen Satzpassagen zu verstehen
@@chrismolder Es hilft wenn man damit vertraut ist, dass viele PA-Deitsche Wörter direkt aus dem Englischen rückwärts übersetzt sind. Z.B. Mögen=Gleiche(n), Bedeuten=Meene(n), Ohne=Mitaas, Nur/Einfach=Juscht, Aussehen=Gucke(n), In Ordnung=Allrecht/Allrei, Beunruhigen=Druwweln (aus eng. "to trouble") usw. Und natürlich typische süddeutsche Merkmale wie Wir haben=Mir henn oder Etwas=Ebbes
@@arvid_klintvik Interessant. Gut zu wissen. Vielen Dank für die Infos. Sind gute Eselsbrücken zum merken!
Interesting. I work with Amish women in a Danish company here in USA, they told me they very little understand the Danes.
My grandma was Dutch that came in handy just now. Rip Oma. Miss you now and forever. Still love you.
what was your oma's name?
Pennsylvania Dutch is actually German.
@@thewordsmith5440 Yes I know it is English and German and some other stuff made into its own language but it is it’s own language as you probably know.
@@lifesso Lydia as was my moms name she named her after herself clearly and sorry I just now saw this.
@@thewordsmith5440 yeah I caught onto that. But my family is Dutch and Scottish and there is a lot of different nationalities mixed into us. I just say I’m American. Because I wasn’t born in another country obviously. I was born in Beaufort South Carolina. But live in Ohio because we had a house fire. And my aunt said we could live in her rental house basically we are renting to own it. So I think we plan to sell it to buy a house in South Carolina again or hopefully Florida or Georgia once things clear up in a few years til then we are stuck in the buckeye state .
It's not "Dutch" as we know it now, actually; It's heavily anglicized German. In the older days, the word "Dutch" wasn't reserved to the Netherlands region only, but to the entire Germanic area consisting of Germany and the Netherlands.
Edit: Let's clarify. I opened up my Etymology book for this. Here's the super short story:
Somewhere in the middle ages, the region only now known as Germanic/Austrian/Dutch/Swiss countries, were to make a distinction between Roman/Latin languages and their own vernacular. So they called it Dutch (Dietz/Diets) /Deutsch for respectively Netherlands and the rest of the areas. The origin of the word is the same: "þiudiskaz" and it means "people".
Penn Dutch appears to be simply a mistake due to similar sounds. I wanted to point out simply that these settlers arrived from Germany.
Then there are things like Germania, Germans, Germanic and not referring to the whole area as Dutch. Its like calling Americans, Mexicans, just cose its the same north-american region.
@@KGI_KlikoNL, that's a bit of a silly and naive remark actually, as we Germans actually call ourselves "deutsch" or "dütsch" or "duits", etc. (depending on the dialekt - "deutsch" is the official High-German word). And hence we live in Deutschland - we never call ourselves "German", unless we speak English. Whereas the Dutch on the other hand call themselves Nederlanders and never refer to themselves as Dutch, unless they speak English. Both the Dutch and the Germans but also the Danish, Swedish, Norwegians and *drumroll* English have Germanic roots though.
@@jensleuner527 @the_vlad as a Dutch person and learned Norwegian i hear Danish which originates from Old German and goes back to Scandinavia so a mixture of nowadays German and Danish i would say
I guess it comes from the pfälzer word dütsch für deutsch and changed to dutch.
@@KGI_KlikoNLNot really, the entire West Germanic linguistic area was historically all part of the HRE. The Netherland split from the rest of "Germany" did not occur until much later.
I know a lot of Amish.
They're generally much more laid back than this video indicates.
I know a guy who chose to leave his ordnung after runspringa.
He still visits his family, regularly.
Honestly depends on the location and specific sect. Certain communities are way more strict than others and it just comes down to religious and cultural differences
@@seagull653 Yup.
Just like any tribe of people.
Your experience may vary.
Nothing like a loving and supporting family.
yes - family is all.....
But are we going to talk about how messed up her parents communication is? Lol
As a person who grew up in a similar community, I have rhis to say - the parents of these kids truly do believe with their whole hearts, that keeping them in the community is saving them from being burnt in hell for eternity.
Consequently, these parents take these situations very seriously indeed. They can seem overly harsh to outsiders, just like a parent who yells at a child who is running into the road can seem overly harsh if you don’t know there is a road behind them.
They see it as rescuing (or trying to rescue) their children from being eternally tormented.
@elisearmer8306 and are they wrong? Surely you can see how detestable and evil the world is, I can't even mention most of the topics because the internet is so censored these days that my reply will be auto-blocked just for mentioning such things.
And what's worse is the world gets worse everyday, degeneracy is the only goal of western countries today and it is very sad to see.
@@elisearmer8306Ignorance is never an excuse
LMAO all the uneducated people commenting on this. The “Dutch” in Pennsylvania Dutch is the anglicized form of Deutsch. The Amish and Mennonite speak a dialect of several centuries old German. They originally came from what is now SW Germany, Switzerland and Alsace & Lorraine. They fled persecution up the Rhine to the Palatinate and picked up from Franconian as well. To this very day, people from those parts of Germany can understand the Amish/Mennonite very well apart form the several century time gap.
Naja. Vielleicht im persönlichen Kontakt aber die Aussprache der Wörter oder dem jahrhunderte altem Dialekt muss man sich schon mehrfach anhören, dazu ist es ein Mix mit englisch und englischer Aussprache/Akzent der bei uns auf den Dörfern, wo diese Dialekte noch eher erhalten sind, nichts mehr gemein hat.
Natürlich kann man aber auch eine Sprache über mehrere Jahrhunderte und Einflüsse nicht so korrekt weitergeben und zwei Sätze konnte ich verstehen mit Schwatzen (schwäbisch) gucken (hochdeutsch) und etwas bayrisch.
dutch used to be a catch-all term for all mainland west-germanic speakers, it has the same etymological root as “deutsch” or “duits”
This is funny on three different levels
- It's not Dutch, but German
- They're talking in a german dialect spoken in Elsass
- Elsass is currently part of France instead of Germany
You must not be knowledgeable on the topic. The Amish speak Plattdeutsch close to Alemmanic. It varies depending on the group. The came several hundred years ago from what is now SW Germany, Alsace/Loraine, and parts of Switzerland. They moved to the Palatinate before coming to America and some pick up Rhine Franconian. To this very day German speakers from those region can understand them depending on the specific Amish or Mennonite group and their original origins.
@@zeitgeistx5239Alsace = Elsass
@@zeitgeistx5239 yikes dude... just yikes...
But the language is indeed called "Pennsylvania Dutch," and that for historical reasons. "Dutch" used to refer, in English, to German, both High and Low; and it's difficult to mistake the cognacy with German "Deutsch." Nowadays, obviously, "German" has superceded "Dutch" as the name for the family of languages spoken in modern Germany, but the old usage of "Dutch" to refer to the Low German langauges/dialects is frozen in the name of "Pennsylvania Dutch."
No, the Alsacian Dialekt is actually very different - not even close.
Spannend! Habe mir das Video jetzt mehrfach angesehen und teilweise gar nichts verstanden. Hab' mich gefragt, was daran Deutsch sein soll, und dann kam da ein "schwätze" (schwatzen = sprechen). ☺️ Spannend auch, wie die Familie "draußen" ausspricht; mit einem englischen/amerikanischen Akzent. Der letzte Satz vom Vater war sehr gut zu verstehen: "Wenn Du gehst, brauchst Du nicht wiederkommen." Hör's mir jetzt noch drölfzigmal an, um auch den Rest zu entschlüsseln. 😅
Mehr hab ich auch nicht raus hören können
I understood a word here and there, mainly because I studied German for 5 years
Same here, except im a native speaker since i was born almost 27 years ago. Sometimes really hard to tell what theyre saying. However it was pretty much abusive.
It's like someone took Danish and thought "how can I make this even worse"
Werner Herzog and Ingmar Bergman can never ever make another film together.
Poor girl. Geez! 😢
That's Amish for you. Speaking as a former Amish
@@radicalnomad1 so I'm told that happiness in any way, shape, or form breeds contempt to them.
Flows more like my grandparent's platt Dutch/Deutsch. They lived at the border with Germany.
It's really just a close sibling to Phalzdeutsch. "Dutch" is a misnomer. "Dutch" originally referred to any of the West Germanic languages. Later its meaning changed and became restricted to just the Low Country.
"Mann! Das ist Kalt!!"
Wow! I understood her German
Dutch
@@traynelly9082 Pennsylvania Dutch is German
Tue doch nicht so. Ich wette, du hast kein einz'ges Wort verstanden.
@@Gute_Laune_Goy hearing it and reading it is two different things lol
@@traynelly9082 the "Dutch" in Pennsylvania Dutch" mean Deitsch (Deutsch). Complain to the english speakers who started calling them Dutch just because they misheard Deitsch as Dutch.
Hi young lady. I live with many Menidites and Amish in PA. Love to chat and meet you.
Cannabis story ???
As a dutch person, i understood absolutely nothing.
The English word Dutch here comes from "Deitsch" pronounced [daaitsh] which is dialect for Deutsch/German.
😅😅
@@DieBlutigeLynn Yes, but the word really comes from proto-Germanic thiudiskaz "of the People" which contracts to diutisc in Old High German and arrives as Deutsch in contemporary German. I don't consider the modern Dutch as "part of my People". They are certainly not Deutsch.
ja het is meer pennsylvania deutsch, maar het is ook niet echt heel duits ofzo.

I was brought up in a very strict fundamentalist type Christianity. But nothing like this. Our church was twice a week three hours on Sundays. We were super insulated from the world. It was a great place to grow up in as a kid. I always felt I had a lot of women surrounding me that love me and look out for me.

@@tvtvvtvt8017very interesting. What you wrote reminded me of the bible verse; Matthew 11:25
I thought these people talked like Chef Tom on the muppet show.
Pennsylvania Dutch sound more like Neder-Diets, this came before the Dutch language. As I hear it as a Dutchman, this is Dutch, German and Danish mixed together.
I never knew Amish spoke a different language
as a dutch guy it sounds half german hald scandinavian to me . i heared german words but no dutch words . must say their languages relation to dutch is prob the 17th century dutch
They're allowed to go to Florida?!
Pennsylvania Dutch is Hoch Deutsch. A historc dialect brought here centuries ago, with minimal English words added. "Dutch" is what the surrounding English speaking communities called them. They aren't Dutch.
I speak Dutch, this sound like a mix of German, French and English
She could go visit the Eskimos. Im sure the look on their faces would be priceless. Cant imagine how I would feel if the lifestyle of my people for the last 50 thousand years was judged to be "wrong" somehow.
I came expecting an interesting tutorial on Pennsylvania Dutch, I left with a crippling depression for that girl in the video. ;_;
The Amish cult is actually worse than this video portrays. When people ask what's it like living among the Amish the best way I can describe it is they are the East Coast FLDS.
The desperation in the children's eyes, the 8th grade girls are married off to 46 y/o cousin Amos and 62 y/o cousin Elijah, the inbreeding that takes place is disgusting, the denial of medical care for those children that are inbred, they only receive 8th grade educations to prevent individual thought, their animals are tortured (I was stuck behind a buggy going over one of the mountains near Shippensburg PA, the buggy was loaded with heavy construction material and the horse was practically crawling on the road trying to get up the mountain while the old man l in the buggy whipped the horse and had his 5 kids, no bigger than a 9 y/o pushing the buggy from behind), they use our roadways but don't pay taxes to fix the destruction their buggy's cause, cars will have a good lean to the right while driving because of the rut their metal wheels cut into the asphalt, the child labor that exists, a neighboring Amish farm killed 3 of their babies (under the age of 5) while working the fields as the father drove the horse drawn hay baler the kids got caught in it.
My coworkers father rents out a building to about 10 Amish families, the building has 15 freezers in it for them to store their food, but then they swear they live off the grid with no electricity.
Who’s going to do the feeding
I speak Dutch , I understood maybe 2 or 3 words , it’s indeed more Old German and danish
I speak only English but, I know many Amish and Mennonites and it is my understand their language is low German, from 300 to 400 years ago and today Swiss German's usually understand it pretty well.
❤ nice.
Simple. ❤
It's crazy to see so many Europeans saying, 'This is not Dutch,' when these comments are actually just a lack of knowledge. Here in my country, Brazil, we also have our own German towns with a Deutsch spoken in the fashion of centuries ago (and, of course, with some distinct phonetics due to Portuguese influence). Some Europeans simply don't get that just because an ethnic group in the New World isn't European, that doesn't change the fact that traditions exist. When someone from the New World says he/she is German-American, Italian-American, or Irish-American, it's not just because it's fancy; there's tons of tradition and pride that came forth from those brave pioneers who had the courage to start over in a distant land in a time with no internet or telephones. I myself am proud of being Italian-Brazilian and couldn't care less about what some sociology/anthropology ignorant European born might think.
I agree.
I don't think people say "this is not Dutch" because they are living now in the USA, but because their ancestors came from Southwest Germany and Switzerland. It was just that the english speakers misheard Deitsch as Dutch.
In today's English, "Dutch" specifically means the language of the Netherlands, but that was not always the case. In the past, any West Germanic language spoken on the European continent was called Dutch. The name "Pennsylvania Dutch" was created before this change happened. Translated into today's English, the name "Pennsylvania Dutch" actually means "Pennsylvania German" .
When people say "This is not Dutch", it's usually because they have confused the modern meaning of Dutch with the more archaic form preserved in the name Pennsylvania Dutch.
I agree. For xenophobic reasons, many Europeans who live in Europe right now think they have monopoly on European heritage and ethnicities. That's like saying a Chinese-American does not have ties to his Chinese heritage and ethnicity anymore. Like magically, he doesn't have Chinese blood in him anymore lol
@@rerolledDKThank you for this explanation! I’m am Dutch and was very confused that I heard German and not Dutch.
As a parent of 2 I cant understand their attitude towards their daughter. "If you leave dont come back" and " you can leave now". Why have children then if you treat them like that. When they get older and need help they could kiss my a$$.
I need help to speak Dutch English just like amish people do I do have German Indian
I wonder if palatines can pick up this German better than Germans knowing that Pennsylvania German was from Palatine German
I have heard they can communicate pretty easily
im german and i understood nothing besides the "wer" and was". no chance
kan er niet veel van maken
If that was her real parents it was a good choice to leave....
That is not Dutch , that is a kind of German languae ! I am live in the Netherlands, we speak Dutch and i am live close to the German border ! I am can speak Dutch, German, a little bit English and a Dutch dialect languae Limburgs !
The whole country is hellish not just Florida.
Strange, i don't hear dutch ...only german....i think you mean deutch which means german in Germany
I kinda wish they would be more open to her giving it a shot and then coming back *if she wants*
It's not really fair otherwise
Thats very satisfying
Well nothing Dutch about it??
Every german: was???
Her parent's aren't wrong, Florida is hellish.
Agreed
Dutch is from Holland, the Netherlands
Deutsch is from Germany
I’m Dutch, and I understand nothing of what’s being said.
How did the tv show infiltrate their home with cameras and microphones? How did they get access to these girls to plant microphones on them? It's actually illegal to record people without their consent.
No, it's not.
sound more like Norwegian :xD
was not expecting THAT oh no no no
amish are like that i would know lol
I think she was expecting it. She knew how her parents are but she decided to follow God instead. I hope she found answers
As a dutch person I quite easily understood what they were saying, but it is not because they speak a kind of dutch. These amish people speak a german kind of dialect. Living near the german border I therefore understood the whole discussion …… terrible reaction by her parents though
I judge the immoral inclinations in myself and my children, who doesn't?
Only play acting, don't worry about. You obviously haven't had children who want to do crazy things, quite normal. Maybe you're the crazy one and annoyed your parents!
Morals are temporary worldviews, ethic is eternal.
That's very common in the Amish. If you leave, very often the other Amish won't speak to you, and even your parents and siblings will disown you.
@@radicalnomad1 "If you leave, very often the other Amish won't speak to you": Yes, but aren't all young Amish adults supposed to be granted a sabbath year (so to speak) to figure out which life they want to choose? Why are the parents already telling her that she shall never come back home just because she wants to visit family elsewhere?
Man darf den englischen Untertitel dazu nicht lesen, dann versteht man tatsächlich was!
"...fort gehen zur Mami...?"
"Ich möcht halt mal gucka wie's da draußen ist"
"...des isch net wie du denksch da drauß..."
"Wenn du gehsch brauchsch nimmer zrück komma"
Oder so ähnlich 😅
Im dutch. This doesnt sound dutch, this is old german.
she has an american accent
Fitting enough as she is American.
More bits of german than dutch
I'm German and don't understand a single word
me neither: "Kauderwelsch".
This is due to their isolation from Germany and some influence from other languages like English, another possible reason for this is because Pennsylvania German developed from Palatine German and according to an article I have heard Pennsylvania German doesn’t reflect the origins of standard German, but of Palatine German
Pälzer-Dütsch.
😂es klıngt manches schon etwas deutsch aber puhh das ıst kauderwelsch
I think it's not Dutch it's Deutsch
I am from the Netherlands but it is not Dutch it's like fish
It should really be Pennsylvania Deautsch. Their ancestors came from parts of Bavaria and modern-day Switzerland.
Sounds Yiddish to me. Is this a joke?
more like German than Dutch.
Verrückt
Are sie nicht jelly, vati and mutti? Weil ich think sie are nur being jelly aber. Also tjüss 🤟
With parents like that no wonder she wants to leave. Horrible people
As a non-Amish person, I agree with her parents. There is nothing good out there. If they need someone to fill in while she's gone I'm free nights and weekends.
As a non-Amish person, there have been times I've given thought to living a similar lifestyle as the Amish.
They disowned her for wanting to visit her grandmother and for being curious about a world they made exciting and mysterious through needless restriction. What amazing parents 🤡
@@batkat0 The Amish culture and lifestyle has existed for hundreds of years before our modern world and will continue to exist if our modern society collapses because of the restrictions they live by. It is not for outsiders like us to judge because we do not understand, nor is it our place.
@@JBLynch same
WooHoo! I thought I was the only one feeling the same.
L comments section. Lots of pro abuse weirdos
Her parents are right. It’s hell in the “civilized” world. I wish I were Amish.
I feel like this kind of talk wasn’t saved for this conversation. Her parents seem very mean.
That's how most Amish parents would react if their children left the Amish. They literally disown their own children
The problem with that Amish girl wanting to go to Florida is, to say it in Dutch: "Je weet alles, maar je begrijpt niets!"
@superaids1510 The Dutch saying translated into English would be: "You know everything, but you understand nothing!"
With many young people who reject the insights of their parents is because they have not lived long enough and be exposed to sufficient input in life to understand both the internal and external conflicts on a variety of levels.
Let me give you one current example in the news. When young people say regarding the conflict between Israel and Hamas: "From the river to the sea Palestine should be free" I know they have not thought this through at all!
First of all many young people do not even know which river is referred to in their slogan, which happens to be the river Jordan.
Secondly, the sea they mention is also not understood.
And thirdly, if Palestine is free from the Jordan to the sea, where does that leave Israel?
What happens to the Jews living in Israel?
How can we have a two state solution with one state eliminated?
Young people supporting Hamas need to listen and think before they speak and this starts in the home.
@@mauriceharting5877 why have you brought Palestine into this? Bizarre
@@jackholloway1 The reason why I used the comparison is that young people tend to make poor decisions when not supervised. Be they Amish or Palestinian youth they need healthy supervision and when that does not happen things can easily get out of control.
Does it now make sense to you?
@@mauriceharting5877 how about young people supporting Israel, an ethnoreligioud supremacist state that has attacked its own allied like the US?
No Dutchman can understand this. I know because i'm Dutch
Uh...so?
What I do like about the Amish is that they do have strong social and ethical skills. Faith in Jesus Christ is very important to them. Going into the secular world as a Christian can be very confusing since the social and ethical skills in a liberal society have been compromised. Right and wrong are often tainted in the secular world and Godly standards lost.
Really, though, there's nothing out here but hellishness. Stay in your beautiful community.
just because she's a young girl and wants to visit a place youre going to stop loving your own daughter. as ive learned more about the amish I've learned more of their wacky rules that don't make sense🙄
The majority of Amish aren’t like this (if this is even real). They are very religious and family oriented. Instead of your mom and dad kicking you off to college they want you to stay and help provide for your community. Lots of traditional Amish will float to Mennonite anyways so they never really, “leave.” What we’re witnessing here is no different than a 16 year old girl who wants to go to Florida with no parental supervision and potentially walk away from her family for the rest of her life. I bet your parents would fall off their rocker if you told them you were gone forever at 16! 😂 Even if they leave the Amish they welcome them back a lot of times but I’m sure their parents are going to be pi**ed when they get home!
@@stevenap4594 the community where she’s from is the old order..horrible people..connected with incest, child abuse, ect ect..shit people rly
pennywise the rules truly never did make sense and I'm an "ex Amish"(former Amish) they have a lot of rules only to completely ignore them when they want and yea its just a messed up group of people who don't fully understand what they believe. lol when people think of peaceful most times they think of the Amish even though that's not the case.
@@supergamerboi4039 thats why im agnostic. a believer cant prove to me god exists and an atheist cant prove to me he doesn't but i can prove to both of them that no one knows. we seem to be getting closer and closer to meeting aliens-more people believe in them now more than ever and the government has admitted that we have objects flying in our skies that they can't explain. maybe the aliens will tell us if he exists or not. if not some scientist will come up with a mathematical equation that will let us all know. there do seem to be more dimensions as theorists theorize. organized religion is whacky with all their crazy rules. it's not bad to celebrate your birthday or use birth control lol. i simply try to be a good person without fear of going to hell or losing rewards because of this god🙄
@@yourmajesty122 well I'm not gonna try and prove anything but I believe God exists now, not sure which wacky rules your talking about though, I do know I gladly celebrate my b-day lol. I do believe the Amish are wrong when it comes to god though, I'll agree with you on that because if we check the bible there is no verse that says wearing a t shirt will send you to hell. also if you want at least some proof god exists, search "seeking allah finding jesus" by Nabeel Qureshi.
Harsh
I mean, have you been to FL tho? LOL
The English are known for misidentifying others at times. When the PA Dutch first came over to PA, the English started to call them "Dutch", even though the Germans identified themselves as "Deutsch". So it's time we say Pennsylvania Deutsch, not Dutch!
No, that's just the older English word for all Germans and Dutchmen.
That not Nederlands but more poor german
"Dutch" originally referred to any of the West Germanic languages. Later it's meaning changed and became restricted to just the Low Country.
If you want real Dutch, you visit Belgium or Holland
Not nice parents.
THIS IS NOT DUTCH. WHY DO YOU PERSIST IN CALLING IT DUTCH WHEN IT IS GERMAN. I UNDERSTAND GERMAN AND CAN EASILY UNDERSTAND THIS GIRL. IT IS VERY CLOSE TO THE PALATINE DIALECT SPOKEN WHERE THE NECKAR FLOWS INTO THE RHINE. PLEASE CHANGE YOUR TITLE FOR THE SAKE OF ACCURACY.
You are wrong. Dutch used to mean anyone of Germanic origins. It's an outdated term for them but they are entitled to be called Pennsylvanian Dutch if they so choose.
The title isn't wrong. The language is called that. Where do you think the word dutch comes from? Deutsch... It's only in today's world that dutch means people of the Netherlands.
terrible parents
This is not Dutch 😂😂
it is not... is "Pennsylvania Dutch", that's why is called that way. Is the old way to call German as they came hundreds of years ago and haven't changed the way some words were used back then.
so youre saying this is dutch?@@Mobik_
No it's not. And that's why it isn't called Dutch. It's called Pennsylvania Dutch. And that word Dutch is an American version of the word Deutsch. So it should be called Pennsylvania Deutsch
@@radicalnomad1it isn't an "Americanized word for Deutsch"
The term Dutch existed before Germany was even a nation state. The Amish and Mennonites are far older than the German state and standardized German. Dutch used to mean in English to anyone who was of Germanic origin. Whether you were from Austria, or some German Kingdom in the Holy Roman Empire, Switzerland, or from the low countries. So the Amish are completely entitled to calling themselves Dutch if they so choose. And as you may know, the Amish largely originate from Switzerland
this isnt dutch at all
Pennsylvania Dutch doesn't refer to the modern dutch language and people. The term dutch has its origin in duits / duutsch etc., the self description of germanic frisians. Later it was used in the english languague to describe germanic frisians and the people from netherlands aswell and developed into the term dutch. Today dutch describes only the language and people of netherland an not of germany, except when it is comes to pennsylvania dutch, there it still refers to the german language and people. So the english word "dutch" is related to "deutsch" the german word for german, both developed from duits / duutsch etc.. (there where many different spellings), duits is today used by the dutch people for german.
The English word Dutch here comes from "Deitsch" pronounced [daaitsh] which is dialect for Deutsch/German.
