>From their page on Pennsilfaanisch:

"Pennsilfaanisch Deitsch, ass aa Pennsylvania German, Pennsylvania
Dutch odder Pennsilfaanisch genennt watt, iss en Schprooch, wu
g'schwetzt watt bei verleicht 300,000 Leit in meh wie 20 Schteets in
die USA un in Ontario (Kanadaa). Die meenschte Schwetzer sinn heit
Amische un Fuhremennischte, wu deitsch aa heit noch schwetze zu ihre
Kinner, awwer's gebt aa en latt Luthrische un Reformierte, wu die
Mudderschprooch noch g'schwetzt henn, wie sie en Kind waare."
