The Pennsylvania German language (usually referred to as Pennsylvania Dutch, or simply as Dutch, in American English; usually referred to in Pennsylvania German as Deitsch, Pennsylvania Deitsch or Pennsilfaanisch Deitsch) is a variety of West Central German possibly spoken by more than 250,000 people in North America
Reminds me of my Great-Grandmother- she used to make me laugh so hard as a little kid. She would go between the PA German and English as she spoke- it was so unique- an unmistakable sound...Thanks so much for posting this!
This is great! These guys are from the same generation as my Great-Grandmother. They speak with a REAL Dutch accent (in English and Dutch). If you have more of this kind of thing, please post!
I live in the southwest of germany and the pennsylvania "dutch" - what actually german is and not dutch - sounds really really close to the dialect we speak here in germany. I guess I could talk to the people there like I were in germany. Too funny.
i my name is Coery and i lived with a Pennsylvania family every summer since i was 7 years old. i know some words in dutch but i was wondering it there is any kinds of books i could buy to improve my dutch,if you have any tips that would be greatly appreciated.
In this context, the word "Dutch" does not refer to the Dutch people or their descendants

It's Pennsylvania Duetsch which is a dialect of German. "Dutch" means "German" in the german language.
So it language is "Pennsylvania German" not to be confused with the Dutch Language spoken in the netherlands.

Plaitsdeutz is technically Lower Franconian German lanuguage, so it kind of is a "bridge" dialect between Dutch & German.
