     @sazius you'll also find this in the type of German still spoken by the "Pensylvania Dutch" people in teh USA (where "Dutch" is a mangled "Deutsch" meaning German - not dutch!): a small group in isolation mostly keeps their language characteristics, unlike the place of origin which has more outside infuences and keeps evolving. !language

     @inscius interesting - I vaguely knew about the German, but not French. I'm endlessly fascinated about how languages (and dialects) develop and are related to each other! !language
