@ Alemannic dialect

Here I let Wiki speak for me:

Alemannic dialects are spoken by approximately ten million people in several countries:

• In Europe:
  • Switzerland: all German-speaking parts of the country except Samnaun
  • Germany: centre and south of Baden-Württemberg, Swabia, and certain districts of Bavaria
  • Austria: Vorarlberg, Reutte District of Tyrol
  • Liechtenstein
  • France: Alsace region (Alsatian dialect) and in some villages of the Phalsbourg county, in Lorraine
  • Italy: Gressoney-La-Trinité, Gressoney-Saint-Jean, Issime, Alagna Valsesia, Rimella and Formazza, in some other villages almost extinct
• Outside Europe:
  • United States: Allen and Adams County, Indiana, by the Amish there and also in their daughter settlements in Indiana and other U.S. states.
  • Venezuela: Colonia Tovar (Colonia Tovar dialect)

Texas hill country is very German.

When I was in the first grade, my dad was a teacher and coach of the football team in a hill country farming town. Their best friends were born and raised in the Bavarian Alps. All I remember back then is that they were "Uncle John and Aunt Laura Bruderer" to us. Now that town is a suburbian area complete with stores, and businesses, but nothing remotely resembling the farming community of cattle, chickens, and vegetable and strawberry fields in 1952. I loved visiting their fabulous farmhouse. They were hardworking people, and their son was on Dad's football team. No wonder he was so strong. Farming back then was very hard work, and farm kids were strong from helping their parents tend stock, planting, and harvesting.

Welcome, Zebra.One of my sons married a German girl. They live in western Germany now, near one of those well known 'Christmas villages'. I have a grandson attending an AB school in Switzerland and a granddaughter attending a fine arts academy in Belgium currently. They love the place.

Southern France I hope; we liked the people there better than the northern regions and Paris metro area.
