PREFACE 



About the year 1870, I made up my mind to 
; publish this book, with a view of affording prac- 
» . tical and profitable instruction, especially for 
^ business men who are located among Pennsyl- 
: vania Dutch speaking people, and also for the 
' many thousands of native Pennsylvania girls and 
l)oys who attend the English public schools, and 
yet almost exclusively speak the Pennsylvania 
Dutch language at home and in the community. 
I then commenced the work, and had gath- 
ered several thousand Pennsylvania Dutch Words 
and arranged them alphabetically with trans- 
lations. But then I discovered my entire incom- 
petency for such a work, by reason of a lack 
of sufficient experience to make my spelling 
of words consistent and uniform. I became dis- 
couraged, and for the time abandoned the work. 
Since then I have had ample experience, and 
believe I have very much improved and sim- 
plified the spelling, which is strictly according to 
r English rules. The German rule would not be 
r practical, because from eighteen to twenty per 



IV PREFACE. 

cent, of all the words commonly used in Penn- 
sylvania Dutch are either English or a compound 
of English and German, and also because all the 
youth of our State is taught to read English, and 
comparitively but few receive any sort of German 
education. The English rule is therefore decidedly 
the best for this purpose. Any one who can read 
English, can also read Pennsylvania Dutch as I 
have it recorded, and give it, in nineteen out of 
twenty cases, the correct pronunciation. There- 
fore, I believe this book will be found specially 
practical and valuable as an instructor. 

To read it, no study of orthography is at all 
necessary, because it is simply English. The ch 
is the only German sound, pronounced as gh in 
Dougherty or Gallagher. 

As quite a number of newspapers devote 
portions of their space to Pennsylvania Dutch 
articles — generally humorous — a book of this 
kind will assure uniformity of spelling Pennsyl- 
vania Dutch words. 

Whilst many of the writers, doubtless, will 
contend that the spelling of this or that word is 
defective, and whilst there will probably be 
errors and some inconsistencies, I am confident 
that, as a whole, this work will be jironounced a 
very good beginning — a healthy plant of a prac- 
tical Pennsylvania Dutch literature. 



PREFACE. V 

It is not necessary to undertake a history of 
the Pennsylvania Dutch language. Indeed, I 
would not feel competent even if inclined to state 
it. Prof. S. S. Haldeman contends that it is tlie 
dialect of South Germany transplanted to Penn- 
sylvania. I'rohahly that is nearly correct. I 
Avould say it is the natural dialect begotten hy 
the intermixture of English and German speak- 
ing people in the same community, and l)y that 
I mean all classes of Germans, and not merely 
those of South Germany. Be this as it may, 
Pennsylvania Dutch is a language, spoken not 
only by one-third of all the people of the great 
State of Pennsylvania, Init also by thousands and 
hundreds of thousands of descendants of Pennsyl- 
vanians now located in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, 
Wisconsin, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, 
West Virginia, Northern Maryland, Tennessee, 
Texas and in some other localities. The Ian- 
gunge came inio being as all other languages 
came, from natural causes. 

Flattering myself that to some extent I have 
succeeded, after a number of years of experience 
and practice, in making a fair record of the Penn- 
sylvania Dutch language, I respectfully sul)hiit 
my work for approval or rejection by an intelli- 
gent public.

EXPLANATION. 



The many English words transferred into the 
foregoing without translation, are all in common 
use as part of the Pennsylvania Dutch language. 
In addition to those stated there are yet many 
more. In a number of cases we have translated 
English words ending with ing by simply using 
the letter a as the last syllable, such as 

A ccommodating , accommodata, 

Delivering, delivera, 

&c. In all such cases the English words are used 
in every other sense, as accommodate, accom- 
modation, deliver and delivered, &c., without any 
change from English proper.

ÄBBREVIÄ TIONS.—OBKARTZUNGA. 



The following are Penn. Dutch abbreviations; 
Many words beginning with Ga are abbreviated 
by substituting the apostrophe for the a, so as to 
produce only the consonant sound, whilst in other 
cases the ga is used. For instance : 

Ich bin gatraveled. I have traveled. 
Ich hob 'm g'sawt. I told him. 
De soup is gakuchd. The soup is cooked. 
Bisht g'soond ? Are you in good health? 

In a number of cases it was found difficult to 
determine whether to write the German Ga pre- 
fix, or the g' abbreviation. Probably the record 
is as correct in this respect as it is possible to 
make it. 

The 'm ( him,) 'n ( a or an ) and 's ( it ) abbre- 
viations are used thus : 

Ich hob 'm g'sawt. I told him. 
Ich geb 'm anes. I give him one. 
Mer con 'm net glauwa. One can't believe 
him. 

Sell is 'n gooter opple. That is a good apple. 



ABBREVIATIONS.— OBKARTZUNG. 159 

Ich hob 'n ellefont g'sse. I saw an elephant. 
Ich hob 'n aw gagookd. I looked at him.

These abbreviations are not strictly neces-

one of the prominent Penn. Dutch character- 
istics. All the above would be entirely correct if 
written thus : 

Ich hob eem g'sawt. Ich geb eem anes. 
Mer con eem net glauwa. Sell is an gooter opple. 
Ich hob an elefont gs£e. Ich hob een aw gagookd. 
Ich ken een net. Ich con een leddera. Ich con 
es net helfa. Du consht es selwer sana. Yaw, es 
is so. Ich hob es maidle g'sse. 

As the abbreviations are very simple, and as 
they produce the words as they are uttered, in 
the natural, easy way, they are decidedly the best 
in writing Penn. Dutch.

PROGRESS OF RENN. DUTCH LITERA- 
TURE. 



The late Rev. Henry Harbaiigb, D. D., a native 
of Franklin Coauty, Pa., a prominent Reformed 
minister, was the author of a number of Penn. 
Dutch poems. His best production was '' Shool 
House on der Creek," which has been extensively 
published in different newspapers. Rev. Harb- 
angh's productions have all been republished, 
since his death, in a neat volume of a hundred 
and twenty-one pages, which book may be obtain- 
ed at the Reformed Church Publication House at 
Philadelphia. 

Mr. Harbaugh adhered strictly to the German 
orthography, whilst we adhere to the English, for 
reasons already stated. 

Mr. Tobias Witner, residing in the vicinity of 
Buffalo, N. Y. is also a good writer of the new- 
born language, and he has made some very able 
productions. 

Some years ago, Mr. E. M. Eberman wrote a 
number of humerous articles for a paper then 
published at South Bethlehem, but his orthogra- 
phy was a mixture of English and German, and 
he therefore lacked uniformity, though his pro- 
ductions were very humerous. A number of the 
German papers devote a portion of their space to 
Penn, Dutch, an 1 all, as tar as we know, adhere 
to the German spelling. Among these are the 
Allentown Republikaner, the Lebanon Pennsylva- 
nier, Easton Demokrat, Bucks County Express, and 
Doylestown Morgen Stern. The Penn. Dutch wri- 
ters for English papers generally use the English, 
as we do, but they are mostly very irregular in 
their spelling. 



PROGRESS OF RENN. DUTCH LITERATURE. 209 

In 1874, Mrs. P. E. Gil)bons published a book 
of about 300 pages, entitled "Pennsylvania Dutch," 
but it only gives some of the peculiarities of the 
Penn. Dutch people, and makes no attempt to 
produce the language except here and there a 
mere sentence, and in these efforts the writer ut- 
terly fails. For instance, " buggy ftiwra '"' (buggy- 
riding) she writes "Buggy fawry," and 'Svait a 
bit" she translates " halty bissel " instead of "halt 
a bissel " as it should be written. Also " Good 
evening " she translates " Gutenobit " instead of 
" Good 'n owet." In her comments on the pecu- 
liarities of the English spoken by people of the 
Penn. Dutch regions, Mrs. Gibbons is more suc- 
cessful. 

Prof. S. S. Haldeman ofthe University of Penn- 
sylvania, has written a very able essay on Penn- 
sylvania Dutch, which was published by the Philo- 
logical society of London, and may also be ob- 
tained at the Reformed Publication House, at 
Philadelpljia. In said production, Prof. H. gives 
a number of extracts from Harbaugh, Witmer, 
Rauch and others. But the book does not pre- 
tend to be a record of the language, but only de- 
scriptive. His spelling is also German. 

Miss Rachael Bahn, of York County, Pa., is 
another successful writer of Penn. Dutch, and 
she has contributed several very good productions 
of poetry. 

Mr. Zimmerman, of the Times and Dispatch, at 
Reading, Pa., has published a number of trans- 
lations of English and Scotch poetry. Whilst he 
has done it remarkably well, they lack the neces- 
sary Penn. Dutch spirit to gain popularity. 

It is admitted by all, that the author of this 
book has had much more experience in writing 
Penn. Dutch than any other individual living. 
His " Pit Schwefflbruner " letters were commenc- 
ed in 1868, and then published in the political 
campaign paper called " Father Abraham," at 
Lancaster, and they gained a very large circula- 



210 PROGRESS OF PENN. DUTCH LITERATURE. 

tion. Ke has since then, at different times, sup- 
pUed several papers with similar productions. In 
September 1878, he commenced publishing The 
Carbon County Denioerat, at Manch Chunk, Pa., 
witli a letter from " Pit " regularly every week, 
and being himself the publisher of said paper, 
the letters will be continued. 

The following are specimen extracts from the 
productions of some of the writers referred to 
with translations : 

From Harbaugh's "Shool House on Der 
Creek ": 

(German Orthography as it came from the pen 
of the author.) 

Heit is 's 'xsectly zwansig Johr, 

Dass ich bin owwe naus ; 
Naw bin ich widder lewig z'rick,

So luss ihn numme geh' —

Es is all Humbuk owwe draus, 

Un er werd's selwert seh' ! 



Doh bin ich gange in die Schul 

Wo ich noch war gans klee' ; 
Dort war der Meeschter in seim Schtuhl, 
Dort war sei wip, un dort sei Euhl, — 
Ich kann's noch Alles seh.

Un schkippt keen eeni Ruhl

The following is a translation of the same ex», 
tracts, as it appears in "Harbaugh's Harfe." 

To-day it is just twenty years, 

Since I began to roam ; 
Kow, safely back, I stand once more, 
Before the quaint old school-house door, 

Close by my father's home. 

I've been in hundred houses since 

Of marble built and brick; 
Though grander far, their aim they mi«s, 
To lure my hearts old love from this 
Old school-house at the creek. 



PROGRESS OF PENN. DUTCH LITERATURE. 218 

Let those who dream of happier scenes, 

Go forth those scenes to find ; 
They'll learn what many have confessed, 
Tliat with onr home our heart's true rest 
Is ever left behind. 



'Twas here I first attended school 

Wen I was very small ; 
There was the Master on his stool, 
There was his whip, and there his rule- 

I seem to see it all. 



With all the drawbacks, that was still, 

A well conducted school ; 
For master such, in vain you look. 
Who cyphers through and through the book 

And never skijos a rule! 



The little girls, of ring most fond 
Their giggling circle drew ; 

When large girls joined in the ring 

Xow is it not a curious thing? 
The large boys did it too ! 

The large ones always tagged the large — 
The small ones always missed ! 

Then for the prize began the race ; 

The one that's caught, has now to face 
The music, and be kissed! 

ANOTHER TRANSLATION. 

As in our judgment, the foregoing translation 
fails to convey an idea as to the genuine Penn- 
sylvania Dutch spirit of the original, we have 
translated the same extracts into " Dutchified, " 
or broken English, as follows :

How well I love those poplar trees, 
That stand like brothers there ! 
And on the top — sure as I live, 
A black-l)ird perches now.

But still the bird holds fast. 
How plain. I see his scarlet wings 
When he his feathers dressed! 
I'll bet you, on that very tree 
His wiiie has a nest. 

It will be seen that in order to read the late 
Dr. Harbauch's " Shool House on der Creek," and 
his other poems as ixiblished in '^ Harbaugh's 
Harfe " (Harbaugh's Harp) it is necessary to have 
the benefit of a German education. Here are a

How beautiful and hri^^^lit! 

I know yet well that in that time 

Nought would I ratiier do; 

Than in the meadows, long and wide, 

Su(;h tiowrets seek as you ; 

Yet it is quite a lengthened time 

iSince I in yonder tield, 

Sought out the flowers far and wide 

And on thy bosom pinned. 

You also had a garden bed — 

You and your sister fair, 

Which I prepared with hoe and spade. 

To plant the Howers there ; 

And when I in the ample vale 

The cattle there had sought. 

The lady-slippers, gold and pale, 

With me I homeward brought, 

And in that garden bed at night 

I set them when the moon was light; 

You did not know who it could be. 

But all at once you guessed- — t'was me. 



From a poem by Miss Rachel Bahn, of York, Pa. 
Well, any how, wann's fre-yohr coomd,

226 SPELLING EEFOR^r. 

SPELLING REFORM. 



Years a.oo, Prof. Witmer (t^pecimeiis of his 
Peiin. Dutch are herein i;iven) endeavored to per- 
suade the author of The Hand Book to adopt a 
mode of spelhng whieli he contends would he 
more simple and practical than any other system 
ever proposed, and that it would answer th e wants 
of English and German as well as Penn. Dutch. 
After considering- the matter, antl making a few 
trials, we are almost persuaded that he is correct. 
His system is simply to have each vowal to rei>- 
resent its own proper sound and no other, and 
this would need the addition oi' one vowel, mak- 
ing six instead of tive — the vowels to represent 
the sounds : 

i? aw 

a ah 

e a 



^ 


e 

o 

u 


u 



The "aw "we here represent by an "a" up 
side down (i?.) The diti'erence between the long 
and short sounds is made by single and double 
vowels — as it and iit, or bot (but) and boot (boat.) 

To illustrate, we now propose lo write this sen- 
tence according to the new system as advocated 
by Prof. Witmer, thus : 

Tu illostreet wii niui propoos tu wrait this sen- 
tens according tu thi nuu sistem asadvoceted bai 
Prof. Witmer, thus : 

Eben so gut kann man deitsch schreiben — so 
wohl als pennsylvaniscii deitsch oder English — 
eins so gut als dasz andere. 

Eben so guut kinin mun daitsh shraiben — so 
wool i^ls pennsilviinish daitsh odar english — ains 
so guut kIs dus inidere. 

Un im Pennsylvania Deitsh wier's yoosht so

nemma data don kents gor k?e mistakes gevva ira

Pit and Bevvy disagree politically, and this is 
the way he attempts to get ahead of his better 
half, being another extract from The Carbox

CLOSING REMARKS. 



Whilst the author has found several rather pro- 
voking typographical errors in the preceeding 
pages, he Matters himself that, all things consid- 
ered, his work has been done quite as well as could 
be expected, and he is more strongly convinced 
than ever before that his effort Avill be recognized 
as a gratifying success, especially so in view of the 
fact that it is a comprehensive and valuable origi- 
nal record of a language spoken by some mil 
lions of American people who are noted for many 
very commendable characteristics. It is quite 
safe to SMy that a more industrious, honest, or 
substancial people than the Penn. Dutch cannot 
be foiuid in this or in any other country on the 
globe. As agriculturalists they are certainly un- 
surpassed. The well known fact that, as a gen- 
eral rule, the very richest soil of Pennsylvania — 
such ns the counties of Lancaster, Berks, Lebanon, 
Lehigh, Northampton, York, Cumberland, and 
the best and richest parts of Adams, Bucks, Mont- 
gomery, Snyder, Union, Northumberland and 
Dauphin, are occupied mainly by our people and 
their descendants, seems to go very far to prove 
the superior sagacity of the early Penn. Dutch set- 
tlers of these rich and beautiful agriculturial 
regions. 

We also venture to say that the percentage of 
Penn. Dutch people whobecome inmates of peni- 
tentiaries and alms houses is remarkably small, 
notwithstanding the fact that their average of 
educational advantages is considerably smaller 
than that of our English speaking people. 

It is also a fact that among the leading mer- 
chants and manufacturers of the large cities and 
towns — especially of Philadelphia, the Penn. 
Dutch element is largely represented, and that, 
as a general rule, they are men of the high- 
est order of integrity. And when they lindtlieir

tion, they generally compare fixvorably with ary 
other class. 

When such old school Penn. Dutchmen as 
Heister, Snyder, Schultz, Wolf, Ritner, Shunk, 
and Hartranft tilled the highest state othce, all 
the people, of every political faith, were well sat- 
isfied that the executive chair was occupied by 
strictly honest and competent men. 

Professor Haldeman's treatise on Penn. Dutch 
has already been referred to in the foregoing 
pages. Preceeding the same, we find an explana- 
tory notice, by Prof. Alexander J. Ellis, of Ken- 
sington, England, from which we extract the fol- 
lowing : 

" While I was engaged with the tliird part of 
my Early English Pronunciation, Prof. Haldeman 
sent me a reprint of some humerous letters by 
Rauch, entitled : 'Pennsylvania Deitsh ; De Cam- 
jDain Breefa fum Pit Schweftelbrenner.' Perceiv- 
ing, at once, the analogy between this debased 
German with English intermixture, and Chaucer's 
debased Anglo-Saxon with Norman intermixture, 
I requested, and obtained such further informa- 
tion as enabled me to give an account of this 
singular modern reproduction of the manner in 
which our English language itself was built up, 
and insert it in the introduction to my chapter 
on Chaucer's pronunciation. But, I felt it would 
be a loss to Philology if this curious living exam- 
ple of a mixture of languages were dismissed 
with such a cursory notice, and I therefore re- 
quested Prof. Haldeman, wiio by birth and resi- 
dence, philological and phonetic knowledge, was 
so well fitted for the task, to draw up a more ex- 
tended notice, as a paper to be read before the 
Philological Society^ of London. Hence arose 
the following little treatise of which, I, for my 
own part, can only regret the brevity. But the 
Philological Society having recently exhausted 
most of its resources by undertaking the publi-

cation of several extra volumes, was unable to 
issue another of such lenjj^th, and hence the present 
essay appears independently. * * * 

Sutficient importance does not seem to have 
been hitherto attached to watching: the growth 
and change of livliig languages. We have devo- 
ted our philological energies to the study of dead 
tongues which we could not pronounce, and have 
therefore been compelled to compare by letters 
rather than by sounds, and whii;h we know only 
in the form impressed upon them by the scholars 
of various times. The form in which they were 
originally written is for ever concealed. The form 
in which they appear in the earliest manuscripts 
has practically never been published, but has to 
be painfully collected from a mass of various 
readings. The form we know is a critical, conject- 
ural form, patched up by men distinguished for 
scholarship, but for the most part entirely igno-^ 
rant of the laws which govern the- changes of 
speech. The very orthography is medieval. We 
are thus enabled to see as little of the real genesis 
of language, in form, in sound, in gramatical and 
logical construction, in short, in the real pith of 
ph Jological investigation — the relation of thought 
to speech-sounds — as the study of a full grown 
salmon would enable us to judge of the marvel- 
ous development of that beautiful ßsh. Such 
studies as the present, will, I hope, serve among 
others to stimulate exertion in the new direction. 
We cannot learn life by studying fossils alone." 

These ver}^ encouraging words from Mr. Ellis 
finally removed all doubt as to the expediency of 
publishing this volume. Penn. Dutch is " a living 
language " and it is no longer without a record, 
though an imperfect one. It is a beginning, and 
others, much more able and better fitted, will 
take up the subject and greatly improve upon 
this effort. 



238 CLOSING REMARKS. 

Should this Httle enterprise receive sufficient 
encouragement, moral and financial, it is probahle 
that we will in the near future venture upon an- 
other and a more extensive effort to treat the pub- 
lic to Penn. Dutch literature. Be this as it may, 
we will continue regularly to write and publish 
our "Pit Schweflelbrenner " letters in our own 
paper, The Carbon County Democrat, published at 
Mauch Chunk, Pa. The author writes for no other 
paper. Whilst said letters are humerous, they 
also incidentally afford much practical instruc- 
tion in Penn. Dutch.
