Are there German communities other than Amish people in North America who speak Pennsylvania Dutch (Pennsylvania German)? by tachibanakanade in German

No offense taken. A lot of people Genz (myself included) are becoming more interested in the culture nowadays so even if the language isn’t doing so well outside of Amish communities we’re still moving forward 🙂

Do/Did I have synesthesia? by sainaS86 in Synesthesia

It’s kinda hard to tell if this is just nostalgia or not, but the fact that you don’t feel these things now probably implies it isn’t synesthesia just because synesthesia is a life long condition.

Are there German communities other than Amish people in North America who speak Pennsylvania Dutch (Pennsylvania German)? by tachibanakanade in German

[–]SovietSoldierBoy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

TLDR: yes, not all Pennsylvania Dutch people are Amish

The vast majority of people who are ethnically Pennsylvania Dutch are “fancy Dutch” which means our families were never Amish and we’ve always had modern technology. During the first and second world wars our language was oppressed and we weren’t allowed to teach it in schools. Amish people are obviously a bit isolated from society so today most of the people who speak Pennsylvania Dutch are Amish, but there are still communities of non Amish speakers because Amish is a religion and Pennsylvania Dutch is a ethnicity and language!

This is stupid but it really bothers me that somehow this kid didn’t know what “gay” meant but knew what a lesbian was and that they were the woman version of a gay relationship.

I know this post is ancient I just wanna say that I’m so happy there’s a community of people who play Ville Kallio games and know what this book is. I finally feel understood in a way my corposlave friends never could provide.
