What does Texas German sound like? I'm intrigued. It can't be worse than PA dutch.
Jason Sanders
I imagine like Otto from Malcolm in the Middle. But, he was an actual German pretending to be a cowboy.
Grayson Butler
>"der Cowboy"
How did you think Germans call Cowboys?
Dominic Garcia
Otto was danish in the German version
Blake Edwards
Huh. Wikipedia fucked up I guess.
Jayden Bennett
Not necessarily. The quote on Wikipedia just implies they created that word independently, not that they were the only ones to use it.
Carter Gomez
That's not as funny.

I'll help to save some words.
I'll be calling Skunks "Stinkkatzen" (lit.: stinking cat) from now on.
Evan Thompson
What does a stereotypical Danish accent in German even sound like?
Charles Barnes
How would Germans/Autrians act if I were to speak German to them but with Texas German vocabulary?
Jayden Thompson
Like someone swallowing the whole time while they speak, strange pronunciation of endings, nt, sch, ch, and confusing endings.

What do you Germans think of this?
I'd be curious to hear your opinion.
Leo Rivera
Like Bavarian Germans in 1850.

Are you implying you speak the language? If so I don't believe you.
Parker Sullivan
I do.
Cannot write it for shit, but I can speak it.
Jacob Mitchell
That is damn nice. Even makes me somewhat proud that out there in the world there are some Germans left that somewhat stick to their traditions and language. Crazy how much of our cultural influence was destroyed just because 2 stupid wars.
The language sound kinda primitive (very simple structured etc.) and with a very thick accent, tho. Like someone that just started learning German.
Jaxson Moore
Most of us only start learning at 8-10 when hipster German-Texan parents want us to learn a "foreign" language for our resume.
My grandpa is probably better at German than you though.
Leo Reyes
vocaroo

>want us to learn a "foreign" language for our resume.
So you lean normal German?
>My grandpa is probably better at German than you though.
If that is true it's pretty nice.
Camden Robinson
Unlike Pennsylvania (?) Dutch, it's quite easy to understand. You definitely hear an American influence, but not too much. Most of the distinct features I heard can be found somewhere in Germany, too (except for the American accent of course).
There were not too many samples of actual Texas German being spoken in the video, so I can't say too much though – from the small sample size I couldn't really assign this accent/dialect to a region in Germany.
Owen Baker
What's wrong with the way the Pennsylvania Dutch speak?

It's based off the Palatinate dialect of German which I don't really know to begin with. Add some rather intense American influence to that and it becomes rather hard to follow.
