PORTUGUÊS

Para quem ainda não conhece, vale a pena visitar o canal do Projeto ALMA-H — Atlas Linguístico-Contatual das Minorias Alemãs na Bacia do Prata (Hunsrückisch) — no YouTube.

O ALMA-H está ligado a um amplo trabalho de pesquisa e documentação das variedades de Hunsrückisch faladas no sul do Brasil e em áreas de continuidade linguística na Argentina e no Paraguai. Entre os materiais produzidos e preservados pelo projeto encontram-se registros de fala, entrevistas e outros documentos de interesse para quem procura conhecer melhor a história, a distribuição geográfica e a diversidade interna dessa língua regional.

Esses registros têm um valor que vai além do meio acadêmico. Para falantes e descendentes de falantes, eles permitem ouvir pessoas de diferentes localidades falando naturalmente; comparar palavras, pronúncias e modos de dizer; reconhecer semelhanças entre regiões; e perceber a dimensão geográfica que o Hunsrückisch adquiriu ao longo de sua história na América do Sul.

Também são materiais importantes para professores, pesquisadores, estudantes, genealogistas e qualquer pessoa interessada na história linguística e cultural das comunidades de origem alemã da região platina.

Parte desse acervo continua disponível publicamente no canal do Projeto ALMA-H no YouTube. Mesmo materiais publicados há alguns anos continuam tendo valor documental e merecem permanecer circulando e sendo redescobertos.

Wer noch nicht so oft Hochdeutsch liest, dem sei gesagt: Hier kommt ein kurzer, unkomplizierter Text — kein Grund zur Sorge.

Wer das Projekt noch nicht kennt: ALMA-H hat Hunsrückisch in verschiedenen Orten in Südbrasilien, Argentinien und Paraguay erforscht und dokumentiert.

Auf dem YouTube-Kanal findet man Aufnahmen und anderes Material aus dieser Arbeit. Dort kann man Sprecher aus verschiedenen Regionen hören und Unterschiede und Gemeinsamkeiten in der Sprache kennenlernen.

Auch ältere Aufnahmen sind heute noch wertvolle Dokumente unserer Sprachgeschichte.

For readers outside the Portuguese- and German-speaking communities: the ALMA-H Project documented Hunsrückisch varieties spoken across southern Brazil and neighboring areas of Argentina and Paraguay. Its YouTube channel preserves publicly accessible recordings and other material that may be of interest to researchers in German dialectology, language contact, migration, heritage languages and multilingualism in South America.

ON JULY 25TH, 2012 HUNSRÜCKISCH PLATT (DEITSCH), A GERMANIC MINORITY LANGUAGE UNIQUE TO SOUTHERN BRAZIL CELEBRATES 188 YEARS OF HISTORY AND TRADITIONS
by Paul Beppler

This is German Immigration Week in Brazil, celebrating 188 years of history, traditions and language. Hunsrücker Platt is the most widely spoken German dialect in southern Brazil.
 
Until a few years ago most German speakers in Europe and in southern Brazil usually practiced a dialect at home and within their community using Hochdeutsch or Standard-German in other situations (i.e. in writing and reading, in learning in school, at work and careers, in church, and in radio & tv, etc.).

In Brazil, when the German language was completely banned by the Vargas State during the II War, the Portuguese language slowly took the place of the standard language previously used in writing, reading, and in public life.

Today, as a means to preserve this unique language, efforts have been made to develop a coherent writing system for the Hunrsücker Platt German dialect, particularly as it is spoken in southern Brazil, and in a few communities in the State of Espírito Santo, north of Rio de Janeiro.

As a result, two systems of writing Hunsrückisch have emerged. One remaining close to High German ( I will call it Formal Hunsrückisch / a method associated with UFSRG university professor Dr. Cléo Vilson Altenhofen); and the other moving away from Hochdeutsch it quite a bit (I will call if Informal Hunsrückisch / a method developed by German linguist Ursula Wiesemann). Both of these writing systems have their advantages and their disadvantages.

Hopefully the existence of two different writing systems will not impede in the long run the fulfillment of the overall goal which ultimately is the preservation of a rich regional language with almost two hundred years of history but nowadays experiencing rapid decline.

The following video is a spoken message delivered in time for the commemorations of the one hundred and eighty eight years of the official start of German immigration to Brazil. It was recorded by Pio Rambo, a native speaker of Hunsrücker Plattdeutsch and an advocate and practitioner of the Informal Wiedemann Hunsrückisch writing system.
