Gerard Meijssen scripsit: > The Dutch expat communities in the US speak Dutch but it is markedly > different from the modern Dutch spoken in the Netherlands and Belgium. > Not only is the Dutch "old fashioned" it has also included some > Americanisms where you might find Anglicisms or a Dutch word in the > Netherlands. Indeed. Here are two samples (in different dialects of nl-US) recorded about a hundred years ago: [on immigrant Dutch, from the viewpoint of a nl-US speaker in New Jersey] Onze tal äz lex däuts en hoelliz äs Holläns; kwait dääfrent. [from an anonymous pamphlet published in Grand Rapids, Michigan] 't Had tamelijk ferm gesneeuwd de laatste twee dagen, zoodat de farmers toch nog een sleeride konden krijgen in het bijna vervlogen jaar. Vooral de young folks hunkerden naar een cutter-ride. Bijna allerwege in den omtrek van de Star Corners waren de cutters dan ook voor den dag gehaald en nagezien, want alles moest natuurlijk in running-order zijn. De dust moest er afgeveegd, hier en daar een bur wat aangetight, de kussens een weinig opgefixt, en de bells vooral nauwkeurig onderzocht. It may be said that essentially every language spoken by any substantial community of immigrants has developed a -US form; many of these are moribund or extinct, or have evolved into separate languages like Pennsylvania German. -- John Cowan cowan@ccil.org http://ccil.org/~cowan And now here I was, in a country where a right to say how the country should be governed was restricted to six persons in each thousand of its population. For the nine hundred and ninety-four to express dissatisfaction with the regnant system and propose to change it, would have made the whole six shudder as one man, it would have been so disloyal, so dishonorable, such putrid black treason. --Mark Twain's Connecticut Yankee _______________________________________________ Ltru mailing list Ltru@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ltru
