Brazilian German

Brazilian German

Brazilian German is a generic name for German dialects spoken in Brazil.

German dialects are already in use in Brazil as a result of the German settlement, made by Germans, Swiss, and Austrians. These dialects were evolved by foreign borrowings. They were influenced by another German dialect, and other immigrant languages — especially Italian, Spanish, Japanese, and Brazil’s national language, Portuguese.

The most dominant spoken Brazilian German dialect is Riograndenser Hunsrückisch, a Brazilian variation of the Hunsrückisch dialect. But other dialects of German are also spoken in Brazil, such as:

* The Austrian dialect spoken in Dreizehnlinden, Danube Swabian (Donauschwowsch, German: Donauschwäbisch).
* Pomeranian or Pommersch.
* Plautdietsch spoken by ethnic German Mennonites from the former Soviet Union.

*German Brazilians
*German language in the United States
