New subject: Pennsylvania German Wikipedia?

14 Aug 2005

Can you give some examples of Penn Dutch, and how it's unique/different from
Hochdeutsch?

Thanks,

James

 I wrote last year sometime about the possibility of
adding a wikipedia
in Pennsylvania German/Pennsylvania Dutch. You said discuss it on the
Village Pump. I just put a message out on there asking what do other
people think. Pending what they say, what do you think about doing
this? It's a rapidly dying language, and besides perhaps helping to
revive it, the Wikipedia would have the distinction of being the first
encyclopedia ever published in Pennsylvania German. The ISO 3-letter
code is pdc.

Thanks!

It's an interesting idea but I don't think you'd be able to find enough 
people willing to add to it, edit it, and maintain it.
