I’m surprised it’s not German for ks actually. Lots of German mennonites in ks. Tons of people in Meade speak German or some weird Mennonite dialect that is German adjace. Forget the name of it.
Pennsylvania Dutch?
Maybe the same thing but this one I think. I do a pretty great version of old farmers who speak English but with a super heavy accents of the stuff from being around it all the time. Also they always sound like they’re yelling but apparently it’s just how it sounds normally. Really blurt out the “AL” sounds in everything and draw out the L part really far.
I heard the word Pig Latin for the Volga germans. My folks spoke this language and did not understand the Germans on the news during the fall of the Berlin Wall during the '80s, because they said it was a different type of German language.
Here a google answer:
The Volga Germans speak a largely Hessian dialect, whereas many Black Sea Germans speak either Schwäbisch (Swabian) or Plattdeutsch (Low German). Although Germans in Russia often show a marked preference for their local dialects, older German Russians can understand and read Hochdeutsch (Standard German) as well.
