Tweet of the Day, This Texan-German Dialect Thing Is Interesting.

Particularly if one is a reader of Eric Flint’s Ring of Fire series, which of course I am. Texasdeutsch sounds a bit like Amideutsch from the books. Not quite the same — fewer English loan words, and the German is from a different time period — but close enough to make the BBC video at the link worth watching. Nice to see that somebody’s writing the language down, hey?
