Talk:Wisconsin German

Comments
I created the "Wisconsin German" entry for a University class project, through WikiEdu (Ling 373: Language Endangerment and Revitalization).

For reference, there is a similar entry for Texas German, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_German

There is still extensive work that needs to be done on this article: how the press, churches, and local economies helped maintain German for well over 120 years. Also the different factors which contributed to a shift from German to English (this was NOT just because of World War I or WWII anti-German sentiment): the economy, schools, increased mobility, the verticalization of local communities, etc. Additionally, there multiple dialects that have been extensively researched in Wisconsin (Plattdeutsch, Pommersch, Luxembourgish, etc.)

A mistake in one of the graphs was pointed out by the Max Kade Center at UW Madison. The bar graph was mislabelled: it should be of Immigration to the US., not to Milwaukee.. 72.33.2.191 (talk) 18:46, 1 May 2017 (UTC)
