The bulk of Pennsylvania Dutch (read: Deutsch) made their way from German-speaking Switzerland to the Palatinate before leaving for the Americas. So the dialect is a bit of a mixture. They were invited to the Palatinate (and nearby areas) to restore agriculture after the Thirty Years' War. (Source: I have a Pennsylvania Mennonite background.) |
