Pamela Bronson is finished with The Mother Tongue, English and How it Got That Way
Bryson is completely wrong about Pennsylvania "Dutch"which he thinks is an English dialect. Pennsylvania Dutch is not an English dialect as he claims, but a Low German one, similar to some spoken in Germany today and also to Yiddish. It is completely incomprehensible to English-only speakers, a fact which my own grandparents took advantage of, using it as a secret language in front of their children.
