Let's not get carried away here. She's talented yes, but don't go overboard.

She's very good. No question about it.

Lancaster!

It's not German either, it's Pennsylvania Dutch. A mix of english and german,

@@KevinWike Correct. It’s also a dialect derived from the German spoken by Amish and Mennonites when they left Germany around 1700.

The vast majority of PA Dutch speakers were not Amish or Mennonite but Lutheran predominantly, as well as reformed. The language is incredibly close to the German dialect spoken in modern day southwestern Germany, where the vast majority of early German immigrants to America were from.

Yea I hate when people write Dutch too. It's ignorant.

@@larryhats4320 Yeah, except that’s how actual PA Dutch people refer to themselves and have for 100+ years…

I am Pennsylvania German, and you are correct.

I was gonna say, ask most anyone in Pa, Oh, In, Wi.... they'll tell u the same thing lol Especially Lancaster Co lol

This is incorrect and a common misnomer. The word WAS Dutch. Dutch is how the English colonists referred to any German speaking people. Pennsylvania Deutsch is not a thing. Look up Patrick Donmoyer, one of the foremost scholars on PA German history - he, among others, have thoroughly debunked his former mentors theory which you are describing here. The idea that anyone wouldn’t have known what language they were speaking is in itself obviously nonsense. Europeans had been warring and commingling for millennia before arriving in the new world.

No, you are both wrong because if anything it was Deitsch, and that's just the hybrid writing of the hybrid sound from the melding of German dialects from western and northern regions, held by people who had themselves moved around amidst for example the war of Austrian Succession. No official "Dutch" or "Deutsch" language existed. Perhaps the claim that the language was closer to what was later standardized as Dutch or German can be made, but it's stupid because a) the language that became standardized German was a tongue not spoken by most of German Europe, including those who came from Germany; b) the core of "Dutch" population was port city Amsterdam, which was up to 75% just people who relocated to the port city from what we now call Germany, Switzerland, Alsace (now France) or Luxembourg. And c) moving from the coast of "Dutch" inland the you hit Frisian dialect and other dialects that are also just as much as part of northern Germany as Dutch. The idea that these modern boxes are anything more than a line in the ground s a figment of British propaganda - the very Anglo stem which ironically itself descends from that same, northern corner of Europe.

Sounds like a p*ss*ng contest. Settle boys.

The "w" in Wictorie is the German way to spell the English "v" sound. We Pennsylvania Dutch often use English loan words for sophisticated topics; Instead of how we say "Victory", 𝖂𝖎𝖈𝖙𝖔𝖗𝖎𝖊, the Germans from Germany say "Sieg" in their speech.

@@PennsylvaniaDutch my chuckle was more because Germans would not use Victorie, as you said. But its cute. We call that Denglish (Deutch English) when such things happen. Btw, Im actually from PA Dutch country currently living in Germany.

​@@Kellieswope If you're comparing standard German with the usage of English words, it would be Denglish, but this is Pennsylvania Dutch, and our sophisticated speech is full of English terminology; you'll find more quaint expressions too.
