The Amish are "Non-violent" people! BUT IT PAYS TO KNOW GERMAN An Amish Farmer walking through his field notices a man drinking from his dam with his hand. The Amish Farmer shouts: "Trinken Sie nicht das Wasser, die Kuehe und die Schweine haben hineingeschissen!" ("Don't drink the water, the cows and pigs (*)(*)(*)(*) in it!") The man shouts back: "I'm a Muslim, I don't understand your gibberish. Speak English, you Infidel!" The Amish Farmer shouts back in English: "Use two hands, you'll get more!"
The retarded joke aside, I love Pennsylvania Dutch! I find the idea of German still being spoken in the region very interesting and its good to have some linguistic diversity in the sea of Spanish and English that is the USA.
I am happy you love them. Watch where you get your water. This country has many places where the locals are fluent in German. I knew a guy in the Army with an Italian last name who was very fluent speaking and in his part of TX, he said most spoke German.
Really huh? Thats very impressive, good for them for keeping diversity. In New York, there are people who are 5th generation immigrants and still speak fluent Italian! In my state though they speak people speak Gullah and Cherokee. But they're being threatened, the former being assimilation and the latter being well...You know, they got Andrew Jackson'd. Also gotta give props to the French Speakers in Maine and Louisiana, they tend to be very proud of their language.
You may have the idea the soldier with the Italian last name was speaking Italian. But he was fluent in German. He normally did not let on he spoke fluent German. He and another soldier were riding with me in my car. We were out in the boonies of Germany trying to find the road to Nuremberg. I spoke 10 words of German and this Italian from TX says, stop by that girl. He gets out of my car and she and he talk. She spoke only German. He gets back in and explains how to go to the road we wanted. I was in shock. I took him for a TX hillbilly. He told us where his TX city was, it was mostly inhabited by German speaking Texans.
