[Footnote 45: In den Schneizen [of Santa Cruz and São Lourenço] sprechen
sogar die dort aufgewachsenen Neger Hunsrücker Dialekt.... Ein
Musterreiter bereiste einst ... die Rio Grandenser Kolonieen. Als er an
einen Kreuzweg kam, sah er zwei Schwarze am Wege im Felde hocken. Er
fragte sie auf Portugiesisch um den richtigen Weg. "Wat seggt de Kirl?"
fragt ein Schwarzer den andern. "Ah, ihr sprecht deutsch?" ... "Ja," war
die Antwort, "mir sein deitsche Neger."
E. Niemeyer in "Deutsche Siedler und Siedlungen im Urwald." _Uhle's
Kalender_ for 1912, p. 76.]
[Footnote 46: This rule holds for the Portuguese, but not for the German
_'j'_ as e.g., where the latter replaces the _'h'_ in _jatte_ (from
_hiate_), the _'i'_ or _'y'_ in _cuja_ (from _cuia, cuya_) or the
_'lh'_ in _cangalje_ (from _cangalho_). In such cases the _'j'_ has the
phonetic value of the English _'y'_.]

[Footnote 50: For a further example of a short proper name compare the
one commonly applied to the small town "O'" (contraction of "Nossa
Senhora do O'"), located a short distance to the northwest of São
Paulo.]
[Footnote 51: This commonly applies to naturalized as well as to
native-born German Brazilians.]
[Footnote 52: Political propaganda literature intended to lead the
unwary to draw different conclusions has been copiously spread before
the public during the last decade. Whatever the ideas on the subject may
be in foreign countries, the German Brazilians themselves are the only
ones who can speak on it with authority. Strange to say, they never seem
to be consulted or studied at first hand by those who speak most loudly
about the "German peril" in Brazil. Porto Alegre, Blumenau, Joinville
and Curityba can furnish more accurate information on this particular
subject than Berlin, Paris, London and New York.]

multe, multieren, orsament, pikarette, rekerieren, rossieren, sellieren,

[Footnote 124: It is to be remembered, however, that High German is the
norm in ordinary news articles in almanacs, newspapers, etc., as well as
for literary purposes in general. In such instances Brazilian German
forms appear relatively rarely.]
[Footnote 125: All words or phrases thus noted have since been observed
in print in Brazilian German publications, with the exception of
_agrião_ and _bond_.]
[Footnote 126: The simple word "Portuguese" is particularly avoided here
(as well as throughout this work generally) because the language as
spoken by the general public in Brazil frequently differs from the
language of Portugal. While the same in form, the words often have a
different meaning. Also many Indian words, especially from the Guarany
and Tupi languages, are embodied in the Brazilian national idiom.]
[Footnote 127: This applies to the written, but not always to the spoken
language.]
[Footnote 128: I.e., like the use of the word "sou" in France,
"Groschen" in Germany, or "penny" in the United States.]

determine whether this work has as yet appeared in print.]
