This is neat, as someone who was raised in Aylmer, Ontario, who went to the old colony Mennonite school, this is interesting. I did kindergarten through grade 6 at OCCS, continued my education through Davenport Elementary, graduated high school at East Elgin SS, then completed a degree in Nursing in London, Ontario. We low German Mennonites have come a long way.
Wir haben Mennoniten hier in Südbrasilien, die vor dem russischen Kommunismus fliehen. Es gibt zwei Kolonien Neu-Wittmarsum-PR und Aceguá-RS. Ich segne dich.
My great grandmother, along with her younger brother immigrated to the United States in the 1890's. She was from the area around Hannover in the north, and spoke Low German, or Plat Deutsch as they called it.. She was gone before my time, but I can remember my Grandma and her sister speaking it, along with some of the old neighbors. It was different from the High German taught in schools and they had a hard time understanding it. Some of this sounds familiar to me, but I never really became fluent in the language.
This Low German sounds heavily influenced by the High German consonant shift and other sound shifts that probably were caused by Anglo meddling, real low German is very hard to find nowadays
What do you mean by high german consonant shift? That was a development in southern Germany, Low German is a northern dialect. The pronunciation of the "r" sound is anglicised, but the rest is basically the east prussian low german dialect that's almost died out since Germans there were forced out by Poles.
