and the name “Pennsylvania Dutch” comes from “deutsch” not “dutch”
I have an ancestor who came from Germany to Pennsylvania in the 1700s
also, there are some pockets of NC where people speak a version of 1700s British English with some Southern pronunciation mixed in
@Jacob What’s the town in central Washington that’s known for its German heritage? I was stationed in whidbey island WA for a few years
My area celebrates there German/Czech heritage very vocally. I never appreciated the environment until now.
Their*
Leavenworth
PA has a substantial number of Pennsylvania German speakers, but it's mostly just the Amish/Mennonites now. Used to be common with normal rural folks
I'm not sure how much of that is genuine German heritage and how much of it is just due to being a tourist attraction
It's definitely a bit forced, not that that's a bad thing
It's a pretty cool town
Leavenworth, famous for the Thirty Mile Fire...
😔
Among other things, probably
no that's a different town
I just looked up where the fire was and it's pretty far north of Leavenworth
@Jacob I appreciated the place. Texas is very much known for its German populations though.
It seems like you're thinking of Winthrop, a wild west themed town
Oh. Hmmm. It was mentioned in Maclean's book. I think Fitzpatrick and the others stopped there on the way
I like eastern Washington
eh, you'd have to minus a few other parts
Olympia
I like living in Eastern Washington
Sure. I used to camp out in Yakima
Pretty much the entire urbanized part of Western Washington is cancer
Float the Yakima river
and significant parts of Central Washington are Mexican
Yep. I actually didn’t enjoy living on the western part
Yeah, NW as a white homeland is highly unlikely
Montana is best bet tbh lol
For now
Unless something happens
Idaho, CO, MT
Eastern WA
Eastern Washington is really hit or miss
just use Sci-Hub lmao
There's 95% white counties, but there's also majority Mexican counties
Jacob what school are you arc
