+
+PREFACE.
+
+The primary purpose of this work is to give an idea of the dialect which
+has been developed by the German-speaking element in Brazil.
+
+As comparatively little is known by the English-speaking public
+concerning the history, location and relative importance of the German
+element in Brazil (judging from extant English publications referring to
+the subject), the main part of the work has been preceded by a chapter
+dealing with these particular phases. This first chapter is also
+intended to prepare the reader to form a reasonable estimate of the
+comparative importance and extent of the dialect under discussion in the
+main part of the work.
+
+In connection with this study the author is particularly indebted to the
+well-known authority on German American cultural relations and
+conditions, Professor Marion Dexter Learned, of the University of
+Pennsylvania. It was at his suggestion and under his constant help and
+advice that the plan was carried out.
+
+While on a trip of investigation in Brazil the writer was furnished
+important information and material by Friedrich Sommer, _Direktor_ of
+the "Banco Allemao Transatlantico" of Sao Paulo; Henrique Bamberg of Sao
+Paulo; Otto Specht, _Chefe da Seccao de Publicidade e Bibliotheca_ of
+the "Secretaria da Agricultura" of Sao Paulo; Johann Potucek,
+Austro-Hungarian Consul in Curityba; J.B. Hafkemeyer, S.J., of the
+"Collegio Anchieta," Porto Alegre; G.A. Buechler of the "Neue Schule,"
+Blumenau; Cleto Espey, O.F.M., of the "Collegio St. Antonio," Blumenau;
+E. Bloch, _Engenheiro Chefe da Estrada de Ferro Santa Catharina,_
+Itajahy; Nikolaus Dechent, _Direktor_ of the "Deutsche Schule,"
+Joinville; Petrus Sinzig, O.F.M., of the "Convento dos Franciscanos,"
+Petropolis; Edmondo Hees, Editor of the "Nachrichten," Petropolis;
+Pastor Fr. L. Hoepffner of the "Deutsch-Evangelische Gemeinde," Rio de
+Janeiro; W. Muenzenthaler, _Kaiserlicher General-Konsul,_ Rio de Janeiro;
+and Heinrich Lotz, _Kgl. Bezirksgeologe a.D._, Berlin.
+
+Special thanks are also due to Professor D.B. Shumway, of the
+University of Pennsylvania, for valuable suggestions and assistance in
+the final arrangement of the manuscript.

+
+
+=CHAPTER I.=
+
+
+THE COLONIES. HISTORY AND LOCATION.
+
+
+THE FIRST SETTLERS.
+
+The first reference to German settlers in Brazil we have from the pen of
+Hans Stade of Homberg in Hessen. Stade made two trips to Brazil; one in
+1547 and one in 1549. In the latter instance he was shipwrecked but
+succeeded in landing safely near the present port of Santos in the state
+of Sao Paulo. As he was a skilled artillerist the Portuguese made him
+commander of the fort Bertioga, the ruins of which are an interesting
+landmark to this day. Later Stade spent several most trying years as the
+captive of a cannibalistic tribe.
+
+After his return to Germany, Stade published an account of his
+experiences. The first edition entitled "_Wahrhafftige Historia unnd
+beschreibung einer landschafft der Wilden, Nacketen, Grimmigen,
+Menschfresser Leuthen in der Newen Welt America gelegen, ..._" appeared
+at Marburg in 1557.[1] In this work Stade refers to two of his
+fellow-countrymen located in Brazil; the one Heliodorus Eoban of Hessen,
+who had charge of a sugar-refinery on the island of Sao Vicente (near
+Santos); the other Peter Roesel, who was located in Rio de Janeiro as the
+representative for a business firm of Antdorff.[2]
+
+Next we come to Manuel Beckmann, the son of a German who had located in
+Lisbon. He is known in history as Manoel Bequimao and was the leader in
+the Maranhao revolution of 1684. This uprising, altho it came to grief,
+may be regarded as the first of a long series of protests against the
+home government resulting in the declaration of the independence of
+Brazil on the field at Ypiranga, September 2d, 1822. Beckmann died a
+martyr's death at Rio on November 2, 1685. His younger brother, Thomas
+Beckmann, who had also taken part in the revolution, was acquitted.[3]
+
+In the 18th-century there was another important German figure in
+Brazilian history; that of Lieutenant-General Johann Heinrich von Boehm.
+It was von Boehm who, at the head of Portuguese troops, recaptured the
+city of Rio Grande in Rio Grande do Sul from the Spaniards in 1777.[4]
+Von Boehm was assisted by two other German officers, i.e., the Count of
+Lippe and Marschal Funk. These three characters were in a sense the
+forerunners of the German battalions brought into Brazil by the First
+Empire in the early part of the following century.
+
+The first colonization of importance by Germans in Brazil did not take
+place until the early part of the 19th century. Beginning with that
+century there was a steady stream of non-Portuguese settlers into the
+country, and of these the Germans formed an important part.
+
+
+COLONIZATION IN INDIVIDUAL STATES.
+
+
+_Introductory Remarks._
+
+The following is a resume of the German colonies[5] in Brazil and a
+brief introduction to their history.
+
+For the sake of convenience, the colonies have been divided:
+
+First; according to the states in which they are located.
+
+Second; according to the date of founding.
+
+Third; according to the kind of colony administratively at the time of
+founding. As to this they fall under three categories:
+
+a) Private colonies, i.e., founded by a private individual or
+corporation.
+
+b) Provincial colonies, i.e., founded by a particular state or former
+province.
+
+c) State colonies, i.e., founded by the central government, whether
+during the time of the Empire[6] or since the formation of the Republic.
+
+The word _German_ as applied to colonists refers only to natives of
+Germany who became naturalized citizens of Brazil and to Brazilians of
+German extraction.
+
+Colonies located within the confines of other German colonies (_e.g.,_
+Hansa, Sao Bento _etc._) are not listed.
+
+_Direct immigration_ signifies immigration from Europe.
+
+_Indirect immigration_ signifies immigration from a South American
+country bordering on Brazil; immigration from another Brazilian state;
+or from another colony within the same state.
+
+Numerical statistics concerning individual colonies have been avoided
+except in a few cases where they are of sufficient comparative
+importance to be noted in a work of this scope.
+
+All the colonies coming in consideration (excepting some of those
+founded since 1890) have been "emancipated," _i.e.,_ they no longer
+receive special aid from, the government and their special colonial
+directorates have been abolished.
+
+The states of Brazil which are important so far as German colonization
+is concerned are Bahia, Minas Geraes, Espirito Santo, Rio de Janeiro
+(Federal District), Sao Paulo, Parana, Santa Catharina and Rio Grande do
+Sul.[7] This is the geographical order from north to south and the one
+according to which they will be taken up.
+
+
+BAHIA.
+
+In this state is located the first German colony founded in Brazil. It
+is =Leopoldina=, started as a private undertaking by Busch, Reycke and
+Freireiss in 1818.[8]
+
+=Frankenthal=, another private colony, was founded in 1822 by Peter
+Weyll and Saueracker.[9]
+
+Of all the states mentioned, Bahia is the least important so far as
+German colonization is concerned. This is largely due to the fact that
+its climate is too tropical to favor such colonization oft an extended
+scale.
+
+
+MINAS GERAES.
+
+The private colony =Theophilo Ottoni=,[10] in the north-eastern part of
+the state was founded by a German stock-company in 1851.
+
+Recent state colonies where Germans form a considerable part of the
+population are =Nova Baden, Francisco Salles, Itajuba, Joao Pinheiro,
+Constanca, Vargem Grande,= and =Rodrigo Sylva=.[11]
+
+Germans form a considerable part of the population of the capital of the
+state (Bello Horizonte) and of the important city of Juiz da Fora.
+
+
+ESPIRITO SANTO.
+
+The state colony =Santa Izabel= was founded in 1847. The first settlers
+were composed chiefly of Rhenish Prussians.
+
+=Santa Leopoldina=, another state colony, was founded in 1857. A
+suggestion as to the origin of the first settlers is offered by the
+names of the different districts into which the colony was first
+divided; _viz._; Schweiz, Sachsen, Pommern, Rheinland, Tirol and
+Holland.
+
+The two above-mentioned are the most northern of the important German
+colonies in Brazil to-day.
+
+
+RIO DE JANEIRO (Federal District).
+
+=Nova Friburgo=, the oldest state colony in Brazil, was founded in 1819.
+The first settlers were Swiss, but since Germans immediately followed
+them and formed the larger part of the subsequent influx, Nova Friburgo
+is properly classed as a German colony.
+
+=Petropolis= was made a state colony in 1845. In reality it had its
+origin as a German colony in 1838. The first settlers were German
+emigrants originally bound not for Brazil but for Sydney, Australia. On
+account of the bad treatment they received on the French sailing vessel
+"Justine" they revolted and compelled the captain to land them at Rio de
+Janeiro on December 2d, 1837. Here the Brazilian Imperial Government
+assisted them and at the suggestion of Major Julius Friedrich
+Koehler[12] gave them employment on the construction of the Serra road
+between Estrella, located a short distance above Rio, and Parahyba do
+Sul, located near the border between the Federal District and Minas
+Geraes. They formed their settlement at what later became Petropolis. On
+account of the satisfaction which the government found in these
+immigrants it turned the settlement into a state colony in 1845, as
+above mentioned.
+
+As in the case of Santa Leopolidina, the origin of individual groups of
+colonists to Petropolis is indicated by the names of some of the
+sections into which the colony was divided, _viz.,_ Bingen, Ingelheim,
+Moselthal, Nassau, Westphalen, Unteres-Rheinthal, Mittleres-Rheinthal,
+Simmern, Castellaunerthal, Untere Pfalz, Obere Pfalz, Oberes Rheinthal,
+Woestaedterthal, Schweizerthal, Wormserthal, Darmstaedterthal, etc.
+
+Since 1850 there has been but little German immigration into the
+Petropolis colony. On the other hand, this particular colony has been a
+rich source for indirect German immigration into the more southern
+states.
+
+Among the recent state colonies of Rio de Janeiro that of =Visconde de
+Maua= is largely populated by Germans.[13]
+
+
+SAO PAULO.
+
+The oldest German settlements in the state are the provincial colonies
+founded in 1827. On November 13th of that year the first levy of
+settlers, all South Germans, landed at Santos. These were apportioned
+into two colonies; one located at _Santo Amaro_ and the other between
+Penha and Nossa Senhora dos Garulhos.
+
+The provincial colony of =Quilombo=, located between Itapecerica and
+Contia, was founded in 1828.[14]
+
+In 1847 the private colonies of =Ybicaba= and =Angelica= were founded by
+the Senador Vergueiro. They were put on the basis of _meiacao_,[15] the
+later abuse of which, by others than Vergueiro, paved the way for the
+famous Heydt rescript[16] of November 3d, 1859.
+
+In the following more recently established provincial colonies the
+population is largely made up of German settlers: =Campos Salles=,
+founded in 1897; =Jorge Tibirica=, founded in 1905; =Nova Europa=,
+founded in 1907; and =Bandeirantes=, founded in 1908. In addition to
+these, the provincial colonies of =Moncao= and =Pariquera Assu= also
+contain important quotas of Germans.
+
+In the state of Sao Paulo the Germans form to-day an urban rather than a
+rural population. They are very strongly represented in Sao Paulo (the
+capital), Campinas and Santos. The following towns and their vicinities
+are also important centers of German population: Riberao Pires, Sao
+Bernardo, Rocinha, Vallinhos, Helvetia, Nova Friburgo, Salto de Ytu,
+Sorocaba, Botucatu, Riberao Preto, Sao Joao da Boa Vista, Villa
+Americana, Pires, Araras, Leme, Rio Claro, Sao Carlos do Pinhal, Santa
+Rita do Passo Quatro, Santa Cruz das Palmeiras, Brotas, Dous Corregos,
+Jahu, Villa Raffard, Piracicaba, and Jacarehy.[17]
+
+Excepting the older colonies first mentioned, the German element in Sao
+Paulo is largely made up as the result of indirect immigration; in the
+early years from the Petropolis district, and later from the more
+southern states and from Argentine.
+
+
+PARANA.
+
+The state colony of =Rio Negro= was founded in 1829[18] while this
+section of Brazil was still within the limits of Sao Paulo.[19] Shortly
+after its founding the colony was increased by the location of members
+of the mustered-out German legion of the Imperial army.[20] Subsequently
+many settlers from the Sao Bento district in Santa Catharina moved over
+to this colony.
+
+The following provincial colonies are settled largely by Germans or
+German-speaking Austrians: =Jesuino Marcondes, Ivahy, Iraty,= all
+founded in 1907; =Itapara= and =Tayo=, both founded in 1908; and =Vera
+Guarany=, founded in 1909.[21]
+
+By far the most important center for Germans in the state is the
+capital, Curityba. There are some 12,000 German-speaking residents in
+this city. In addition, a large number are located in the important
+cities of Lapa, Ponta Grossa, Porto da Uniao and Castro.[22]
+
+A large part of the German element in Parana is due to indirect
+immigration from Santa Catharina.
+
+
+SANTA CATHARINA.
+
+=Sao Pedro de Alcantara=, a state colony, was founded in 1828.[23] Its
+first settlers came mainly from the Rhine district.
+
+=Itajahy=[24] and =Santa Izabel=, two other state colonies were founded
+in 1835 and 1846 respectively.
+
+=Blumenau=, a private colony (originally), was founded in 1850 by Dr.
+Hermann Blumenau.[25] The first settlers were mainly natives of
+Pomerania and Mecklenburg. Blumenau is the most widely known (largely
+because of its German name) and one of the most important German
+colonies in Brazil to-day. According to Carvalho "Blumenau constitue
+dans l'Amerique du Sud le type le plus parfait de la colonisation
+europeenne."[26] The area of the "municipio"[27] covers 10,725 square
+kilometers and is populated by about 60,000 inhabitants, the great
+majority of whom are of German descent.[28] The "Stadtplatz"[29] is
+composed mainly of one street 5-1/2 kilometers in length (including
+Altona) and is most beautifully situated on the right bank of the river
+Itajahy-Assu. It contains about 3,000 inhabitants, nearly all of whom
+are Germans.
+
+=Dona Francisca= was founded in 1851 as a private colony by the
+"Hamburger Kolonisationsverein von 1849." It comprises the territory
+given as a marriage dot by Dom Pedro II. to his sister, Dona Francisca,
+at the time of her marriage to the Prince of Joinville of the French
+House of Orleans. The "Stadtplatz" of the colony was named Joinville in
+honor of the prince.
+
+Dona Francisca was founded under favorable circumstances at a time when
+many Germans, including members of the "upper classes" were leaving the
+Fatherland on account of the general political discontent during the
+latter part of the forties of the past century. This fact is reflected
+in the German language as spoken in Joinville to-day. It is perhaps more
+free from dialect than in any other German colony in Brazil. The
+general cultural status of the inhabitants of Germanic origin is
+relatively high.
+
+The entire colony (municipio) of Dona Francisca contains more than
+30,000 inhabitants; the "Stadtplatz" about 6,000. In both, the
+inhabitants of Germanic origin form the great majority.
+
+The colony of =Brusque=[30] was founded in 1860. Its early colonists
+were composed largely of former inhabitants of the Rheinland,
+Westphalia, Oldenburg and Baden. Next to Blumenau and Dona Francisca,
+Brusque is to-day the most important German colony in Santa Catharina.
+
+In the territory not included in the "municipios" mentioned above, the
+larger part of the inhabitants of the following centers are of German
+descent: Angelina and Santa Thereza, both founded in 1853; Therezopolis,
+founded in 1860; Palhoca, Braco do Norte and Pedras Grandes.
+
+Important numbers of Germans are located along the following rivers of
+Santa Catharina: Rio Itajahy do Sul; Rio das Tijucas; Rio Braco do
+Norte; and Rio Capivary.[31]
+
+In point of numbers, Santa Catharina is next to the most important state
+in Brazil so far as German colonization is concerned.
+
+
+RIO GRANDE DO SUL.
+
+=Sao Leopoldo=, a state colony, was founded in 1824. The first settlers
+came from the Hunsrueck section. To-day its population is estimated at
+more than 50,000, mostly of German descent.[32] We may designate Sao
+Leopoldo as the center of the "Deutschbrasilianerthum" of Rio Grande do
+Sul.
+
+The state colonies of =Tres Forquilhas= and =Sao Pedro de Alcantara das
+Torres= were founded in 1826. The former was settled by German
+Protestants, the latter by German Catholics.
+
+=Santa Cruz=, a state colony, was founded in 1849. Its first settlers
+were mainly from Pomerania and the Rheinland.
+
+Next in order there followed an important period of private
+colonization. As a result of this we have =Rincao d'El Rei=, founded in
+1850 by Dr. Israel R. Barcellos; =Mundo Novo=, founded in 1850 by
+Tristao Jose Monteiro; =Conventos=, founded in 1853 by Baptista F.
+Pereira e Cie.; =Estrella=, founded in 1856 by Santos Pinto; =Mariante=,
+founded in 1856; and =Marata= founded in 1856 by Andreas Kochenborger
+and Pedro Schreiner.
+
+In the year 1857 two provincial colonies were founded, i.e., =Santo
+Angelo= and =Nova Petropolis=.
+
+The year 1858 marked the second period of private colonization. In that
+year =Sao Lourenco= was founded by Jakob Rheingantz. The first settlers
+of this colony were Pomeranians and natives of the Rheinland. In the
+same year =Teutonia= was founded by a group of capitalists of Porto
+Alegre.[33]
+
+The last period of strictly provincial colonization is marked by the
+founding of =Monte Alverne= in 1859 and of =Sao Feliciano= in 1867.
+
+In the most recent period a number of colonies supported by both the
+state and central governments have been founded. Of these the following
+have been settled largely by Germans; =Guarany=, founded in 1891;
+=Ijuhy=,[34] founded in 1891; and =Erechim=, founded in 1909.[35] In
+addition, Dr. Hermann Meyer's private colonies of =Xingu= and =Neu
+Wuerttemberg= were founded in this period; the former in 1897 and the
+latter in 1899.
+
+The German element is very strongly represented in the important cities
+of Porto Alegre and Pelotas as well as in the "municipios" of Sao Joao
+de Montenegro, Sao Sebastiao do Cahy (now includes Nova Petropolis),
+Venancio Ayres, Lageado, Taquara, Cruz Alta and Palmeiro.
+
+Rio Grande do Sul has a much larger population of German descent than
+any other state in Brazil. The main reason why so many Germans settled
+in this state we may attribute to the climatic conditions which are here
+more favorable to Germanic peoples than in any other section of the
+country.
+
+
+AN ESTIMATE AS TO THE TOTAL NUMBER OF GERMANS IN BRAZIL.
+
+It is impossible to make an exact statement as to the total number of
+Germans in the country. The reasons for this are not far to seek. The
+fact that an accurate census for Brazil does not exist is not surprising
+when we consider the enormous expanse of territory.[36] The greater part
+of this is but sparsely settled and largely covered with primeval
+forests. Official statistics, where they do exist are apt to have been
+carelessly compiled and often are entirely untrustworthy, "Paciencia,"
+has been the watchword here as well as throughout all other walks of
+life in Brazil.
+
+If we restrict ourselves to estimate, among the total of Brazilian
+citizens, those of any particular European origin, the difficulty
+increases. Here the census reports offer practically no help because all
+persons are listed simply as Brazilians, no reference being made as to
+their origin.
+
+The primary sources in making up the estimates are furnished by the
+immigration reports as they are found in the "Ministerio da Agricultura"
+in Rio and the "Secretaria da Agricultura" of several individual states.
+Even here the statistics are inadequate for our purpose. As a rule only
+such colonists as came in third class on ships from Europe are
+listed.[37] In addition, it is impossible to determine how many
+colonists came by land (indirect immigration) from adjoining South
+American countries such, as Uruguay, Paraguay or Argentine.
+
+The secondary sources, and the ones which in this instance are most
+valuable, are embodied in the estimates of former colonial directors and
+other officials, as well as private persons having first hand knowledge
+concerning the different European elements in Brazil.
+
+The official data offered by the Bureau of Statistics of the "Ministerio
+da Agricultura" in Rio concerning immigration directly from Europe
+begins with the year 1820. That concerning immigration from Germany in
+particular begins with 1827. Official figures are available as to the
+number of immigrants from Germany from that date to the present
+excepting the years 1830-1836 inclusive, 1838, 1839, 1843, 1844, 1846,
+1848 and 1849. The total is 128,233 up to the end of the year 1915.[38]
+
+In order to determine the approximate numerical value of the German
+element in the population of Brazil, many estimates worthy of
+consideration have been compared. The estimates which in the opinion of
+the writer have the strongest claim to accuracy, are listed below. As
+will be seen, those determined upon by Friedrich Sommer, _Direktor_ of
+the "Banco Allemao Transatlantico" of Sao Paulo are largely followed.
+This authority has for years been making a careful study of the subject
+and consequently his conclusions bear particular weight.
+
+Taking up the states in the order as previously, we have:
+
+ Bahia. No reliable estimates except as contained below
+ in "Northern and Central States."
+
+ Minas Geraes............... 5,000. Sommer.
+ Espirito Santo............. 25,000. Ludwig[39]
+ Rio (Fed. Dist.)........... 18,000. Sommer.
+ Sao Paulo.................. 32,000. Ibid.
+ Parana .................... 35,000. Ibid.
+ Santa Catharina............ 100,000. Mueller von Koenigswinter
+ Rio Grande do Sul.......... 250,000. Ibid.
+ Northern and Central States
+ (including Bahia)........ 10,000. Sommer.
+ ________
+ Total...................... 475,000.
+
+Making a fairly liberal allowance for underestimates, we may regard the
+number 500,000 as representing the total number of citizens of German
+descent in Brazil to-day.[40]

+=CHAPTER II.=
+
+
+THE BRAZILIAN GERMAN DIALECT.
+
+
+THE UNDERLYING BASIS AND REASONS FOR THE FORMATION OF THE DIALECT.
+
+As may be inferred from chapter I, the German immigration into Brazil
+antedating the nineteenth century was quite insignificant. Beginning
+with the early years of that century, however, there was a steady
+current of new settlers from the German-speaking sections of Europe into
+the southern part of the country. The people who made up this current
+settled, particularly during the early years, in small, widely separated
+colonial nuclei where they found themselves more or less thoroughly cut
+off from the outside world and its influences. It is not surprising,
+therefore, to find that these people have developed a new dialect which
+we may call "Brazilian German."
+
+The Germanic settlers from Europe who had come to Brazil found
+themselves located in surroundings radically different from the ones to
+which they had been accustomed in the land of their nativity. Physically
+they had to adapt themselves to a new climate. From the moment of their
+arrival on the parcel of land allotted to them they were in contact with
+many objects for which their mother tongue offered no designation. The
+animals, plants, insects and even the agricultural implements in the new
+home land had, to a large extent, names for which the German language
+offered no equivalent. As a result, many non-germanic words had to be
+immediately adopted.
+
+In reference to the older colonies, the German-speaking immigrants from
+any particular section of Germany, Switzerland or Austria would more or
+less settle in a particular section of Brazil. Thus we have Petropolis
+in Rio de Janeiro settled by former inhabitants of the Coblenz district
+and Blumenau in Santa Catharina settled largely by Pomeranians. In a
+general way it may be stated that the older colonies were in this
+respect relatively homogenious, while those founded since the middle of
+the past century drew their settlers to a larger extent from different
+German-speaking sections of Europe.
+
+The settlers, largely drawn from the agricultural class, naturally
+brought with them from Europe a variety of German dialects. These were
+more or less preserved depending on the relative isolation of the
+colonies. In cases where a considerable and constant influx of settlers
+either by direct or indirect immigration was kept up after the first
+years of the history of any particular colony the original dialect
+largely gave way to a modified form of High German, due primarily to the
+normalizing influence of the German school and church. Such is the case
+in the "Stadtplaetze"[41] of Dona Francisca, Blumenau, Santa Cruz and Sao
+Lourenco.
+
+The preceding statements are intended to present, as it were, the
+background or basis on which the new dialect was developed. We now come
+to the most potent influence in the formation of that dialect. It is the
+Brazilian Portuguese, a language which has no connection with the
+Germanic group. In this point, therefore, our case differs radically
+from that of the student of the German dialects which have been
+developed in North America.
+
+The degree of linguistic influence exerted by the Brazilian Portuguese
+on the High German or its various dialects as spoken by the immigrants
+varies again according to the relative isolation of the settlements. We
+have degrees ranging from that of the old settlements in the Santo Amaro
+district of Sao Paulo,[42] where the German language has practically in
+its entirety given way to the Brazilian Portuguese, to that of some of
+the sections of the "municipios"[43] of Blumenau in Santa Catharina and
+Sao Leopoldo in Rio Grande do Sul where a modified German has not only
+held its own among the inhabitants of German extraction, but has also
+become the language of parts of the Luso-Brazilian[44] and negro
+elements as well.[45] About half way between these two extremes we might
+range the case of Petropolis in Rio de Janeiro.
+
+
+BRAZILIAN GERMAN WORD FORMS.
+
+The following general principles are observed in connection with the
+dialect which has been developed by the German element in Brazil.
+
+Nouns form by far the greatest number of words taken over, followed next
+in order by verbs, exclamatory words and phrases, adjectives and
+adverbs. The last two appear relatively rarely.
+
+
+OBSERVATIONS ON WORDS FROM THE BRAZILIAN PORTUGUESE.
+
+
+I. Nouns.
+
+A. Masculines.
+
+1) In the case of masculines the vowel ending is as a rule dropped,
+e.g.,
+
+ _Brazilian_ _Brazilian_
+ _Portuguese._ _German._ _English._
+
+ abatimento... abatiment... discount.
+ campo........ camp........ field, plain.
+ facao-....... fac......... hunting-knife.
+ intendente... intendent... administrator.
+ pasto........ past........ pasture.
+
+2) The same holds for words of the following type where there have been
+further orthographical changes with preserve, however, the same phonetic
+values.
+
+ _Brazilian_ _Brazilian_
+ _Portuguese._ _German._ _English._
+
+ macaco....... makak....... monkey.
+ trapiche..... trapisch.... warehouse (on the wharf).
+
+3) Internal phonetic changes have taken place in such words as:
+
+ _Brazilian_ _Brazilian_
+ _Portuguese._ _German._ _English._
+
+ kaschero..... kaschoer..... shop-man, clerk (in a store).
+ municipio.... munizip..... district.
+
+
+B. Feminines.
+
+In feminines the final vowel '_-a_' is as a rule weakened to _'e'_,
+e.g.,
+
+ _Brazilian_ _Brazilian_
+ _Portuguese._ _German._ _English._
+
+ capoeira..... capoeire.... copse.
+ carreta...... carrete..... cart.
+ garaffa...... garaffe..... bottle.
+ lancha....... lanche...... barge.
+ larancha..... laranche.... orange.
+ mula......... mule........ mule.
+ persianna.... persianne... Venetian-blind.
+ picada....... picade...... lane (through a forest).
+ pimenta...... pimente..... pepper.
+ pipa......... pipe........ barrel, tun.
+ roca......... rosse....... clearing (of a forest).
+ sanga........ sange....... ditch.
+ tolda........ tolde....... cover, hood (of a wagon).
+ traca........ trace....... track, design.
+ venda........ vende....... inn, store.
+
+
+C. Change of gender in nouns.
+
+1) Masculine to feminine, e.g.,
+
+ _Brazilian_ _Brazilian_
+ _Portuguese._ _German._ _English._
+
+ barranco _m._ barranke _f._ slope.
+ cabresto _m._ cabreste _f._ halter.
+ cachimbo _m._ kaschimbe _f._ tobacco-pipe.
+ camarote _m._ camarote _f._ box (in a theater).
+ cangalho _m._ cangalhe _f._ packsaddle.
+ charuto _m._. charute _f._. cigar.
+ farelo _m._.. farelle _f._. bran.
+ hiate _m._... jatte _f._... yacht.
+ portreiro _m._ portreere _f._ pasture-ground.
+ rio _m._..... rio _f._.....
+ (rarely _m._) stream, river.
+
+2) Feminine to masculine, e.g.,
+
+ _Brazilian_ _Brazilian_
+ _Portuguese._ _German._ _English._
+
+ cachaca _f._. cachass _m._ gin, brandy (of sugar-cane).
+ troca _f._... troc _m._... change (of money).
+
+3) Masculine to neuter, e.g.,
+
+ _Brazilian_ _Brazilian_
+ _Portuguese._ _German._ _English._
+
+ doce _m._.... doss _n._... candy, confectionery.
+ fosforo _m._. fosforo _n._ match.
+ tatu _m._.... tatu _n._... armadillo.
+ xarque _m._.. xarque _n._. jerked beef.
+
+4) Feminine to neuter, e.g.,
+
+ _Brazilian_ _Brazilian_
+ _Portuguese._ _German._ _English._
+
+ canoa _f._... kanoe _n._.. monoxylon, dugout.
+ farinha _f._. farin _n._.. flour.
+
+From the above examples it will be observed that the gender of the
+Brazilian German noun is, where there has been a change from that of
+the original Brazilian Portuguese, as a rule, the same as that of the
+High German word replaced, e.g.,
+
+ _Brazilian German._ _High German._
+
+ barranke _f._........ Boeschung_f._
+ cachass _m._......... Schnaps _m._
+ camarote _f._........ Theaterloge _f._
+ charute _f._......... Zigarre _f._
+ doss _n._............ Konfekt _n._
+ farelle _f._......... Kleie _f._
+ farin _n._........... Mehl _n._
+ fosforon _n._........ Streichholz_n._
+ kaschimbe _f._....... Tabakspfeife _f._
+ portreere _f._....... Weide _m._
+ troc _m._............ Wechsel _m._
+
+
+D. Nouns of mixed origin are quite frequent, e.g.,
+
+ _Brazilian German._ _English._
+
+ aboboramus........... stewed (and mashed) pumpkin.
+ korbgarrafao......... demijohn.
+ miljekolben.......... cob (of corn).
+ mesclahosen.......... trousers (striped).
+ ochsencarrete........ ox-cart
+ palhazigarrette...... cigarette (with cornhusk wrapper).
+ polizeidelegado...... inspector of police.
+ puschochse........... draught-ox.
+ rocewirtschaft....... agriculture, farming.
+ sellofiskal.......... revenue agent.
+ vendaschuld.......... drinking-score, debt for drink.
+
+
+II. Verbs.
+
+Brazilian German verbs are commonly formed by adding a weak ending,
+_'-en'_ or _'-ieren'_ to the Portuguese stem, e.g.,
+
+ _Portuguese._ _Brazilian German._ _English._
+
+ amolar......... amolieren.......... to grind, sharpen.
+ capinar........ capinen............ to weed.
+ cobrar......... cobrieren.......... to cash, take in (money),
+ lacar ......... lassen............. to throw the lasso.
+ puxar.......... puschen, pussen.... to pull.
+ repousar....... posen.............. to rest.
+ requerer....... rekerieren......... to request.
+ rocar.......... rossieren.......... to clear of weeds.
+ sellar......... sellieren.......... to stamp.
+ tocar.......... tocken............. to beat, strike.
+ trocar......... trocken............ to change (money etc.).
+
+In pronunciation the Brazilian German differs still more from the
+Portuguese than the printed forms would indicate. The main additional
+differences in this case are the following:
+
+1) The noun ending '_-ao'_ has the value of _'-ong'_ instead of the
+Portuguese sound represented by _'-ao.'_ Thus, by phonetic spelling we
+would have, e.g.,
+
+ _Brazilian German._ _Portuguese._
+
+ algodong for algodao.
+ capong " capao,
+ garrafong " garrafao,
+ patakong " patacao.
+ questong " questao,
+ sertong " sertao,
+ violong " violao.
+
+2) The _'j'_ instead of remaining sonant as in Portuguese,
+becomes surd.[46] Thus
+
+ _Brazilian German._ _Portuguese._
+
+ feschong for feijao,
+ schakare " jacare.
+ Schwong " Joao.
+
+3) In the case of infinitives the final _'-n'_ is not sounded,
+particularly in sections influenced by the Hunsrueck dialect. These forms
+are therefore pronounced, e.g.,
+
+ _Brazilian German._ _Portuguese._
+
+ amoliere for amolieren.
+ kapine " kapinen.
+ pusche " puschen.
+ tocke " tocken.
+
+
+SURNAMES.
+
+As a general rule German family names are retained in their original
+form in all sections where the German language held its own among the
+colonists. This is especially true where such names offer no difficulty
+in their pronunciation to people having Portuguese as their mother
+tongue. On the other hand, where such names could not be readily
+pronounced by Luso-Brazilians,[47] they underwent changes to greater or
+less extent even in communities where the German element is most
+strongly represented. Where the German language disappeared the German
+family name as a rule disappeared with it, or was retained in such a
+form as to be hardly recognizable.
+
+By way of example a number of modifications in surnames are noted below;
+first, from a section where the German language has almost entirely
+given way to Portuguese[48], and second, from one of the strongest
+German-speaking sections of Brazil.[49]
+
+1)
+
+Emmich became _M'_. The Portuguese could not pronounce the "-ich" and
+consequently it dropped off, resulting in the formation of what is
+probably one of the shortest family names in existence.[50]
+
+Felippoffsky became _Felippe, Franz,_ or _Franco_. In this instance one
+branch of the family adopted the first part of the original family name
+and other branches made surnames out of the Christian name of the first
+immigrant, i.e., Franz Felippoffsky.
+
+Glaser became _Frittenmaku_. The first immigrant was Fritz Glaser. One
+of his characteristics was lameness. The new family name is equivalent
+in meaning to "der lahme Fritz."
+
+Gottfried became _Gottesfried, Gottesfrid_ or _Gottesfritz_.
+
+Helfenstein became _Helfestein_.
+
+Hessel became _Essel_.
+
+Klein became _Cleene_. In this instance a German dialect variant of the
+original became the new family name.
+
+Reinberg became _Remberg_.
+
+Rochenbach became _Rocumbak_ or _Rocumbaque_.
+
+Roschel became _Rocha_.
+
+Toll became _Doll_ or _Doro_.
+
+Weisshaupt became _Sapateiro_. In this instance the first Weisshaupt was
+a shoemaker. The trade name translated into Portuguese became the family
+name.
+
+Zuellich became _Sills_.
+
+2)
+
+Waechter became _Walter_.
+
+Werner became _Vierne_.
+
+From the above examples it will be noticed that the new family names
+show, as a general rule, an adaptation of the original to Portuguese
+pronunciation.
+
+
+BAPTISMAL NAMES.
+
+So far as baptismal names are concerned, the case is quite different
+from that applying to surnames. While the latter have been modified to a
+great extent only where the German language gave way to the Portuguese
+almost entirely, as stated, the former have been replaced by their
+Portuguese counterparts, as a rule, in all parts of Brazil.[51] Probably
+the chief reason for this is sentiment, or, to use what is in this case
+perhaps a more accurate term, patriotism. The Portuguese Christian name
+in the country in question distinguishes the individual as a Brazilian,
+not as a German. The people under discussion regard themselves first of
+all as Brazilians.[52] While, according to their idea the retention and
+cultivation of their "Deutschthum" makes them better and more valuable
+Brazilian citizens, they carefully differentiate between "Deutschthum"
+and (to use their own expression) "Deutschlaenderthum."
+
+The following are examples of Portuguese baptismal names which are
+commonly substituted for their German counterparts by Brazilian Germans.
+
+ _Portuguese form._ _German form._
+
+ Adolfo for Adolf.
+ Alberto " Albert.
+ Augusto " August.
+ Bernardo " Bernard.
+ Carlos " Karl.
+ Edmundo " Edmund.
+ Eduardo " Eduard.
+ Emilio " Emil.
+ Ernesto " Ernst.
+ Estevao " Stephan.
+ Ewaldo " Ewald.
+ Francisco " Franz.
+ Frederico " Friedrich.
+ Germano " Hermann.
+ Guilhermo " Wilhelm.
+ Gustavo " Gustav.
+ Henrique " Heinrich.
+ Ignacio " Ignaz.
+ Joao " Johann.
+ Jorge " Georg.
+ Jose " Joseph.
+ Julio " Julius.
+ Leopoldo " Leopold.
+ Luiz " Ludwig.
+ Maximiliano " Maximilian
+ Paulo " Paul.
+ Pedro " Peter.
+ Ricardo " Richard.
+ Roberto " Robert.
+ Rodolfo (Rudolfo) " Rudolf.
+ Theodoro " Theodor.
+
+
+TERMS OF FAMILY RELATIONSHIP IN TITLES.
+
+For the terms of family relationship in titles (business, etc.) the
+Portuguese forms are commonly used where the German forms would
+naturally be expected (i.e., in exclusively Brazilian German
+publications, etc.). Among the forms most frequently used in this manner
+(in full or abbreviated form, singular or plural) are the following:[53]
+
+ _Portuguese form._ _German form._
+
+ Filho for Sohn.
+ Irmao " Bruder.
+ Sobrinho " Neffe.
+ Viuva " Witwe.
+
+
+EXAMPLES OF BRAZILIAN GERMAN FROM DOCUMENTS.
+
+The Written Language.
+
+The following is an excerpt made from a short story entitled "Unrecht
+schlaegt seinen eigenen Herrn."[54]
+
+Der reiche Estancieiro[55] Joao Rodrigues sass eines Tages unter der
+grossen schattigen Figueira,[56] welche das Wahrzeichen der Estancia[57]
+Sao Manoel bildete. Er berechnete eben, wie viel Schlachtvieh er dieses
+Jahr verkaufen koennte, und fand, dass es mindestens 700 Stueck seien. Das
+gab ein schoenes Haeufchen Geld; denn die Viehpreise waren dieses Jahr
+hoch. Unter 60$000[58] sollte ihm kein Stueck aus der Invernada[59] fort;
+das machte rund 42 Contos[60] aus.
+
+... "Compadre,[61] ich habe einen Auftrag, fuer eine benachbarte
+Charqueada[62] rund 1000 Stueck Schlachtvieh aufzukaufen...."
+
+... Damit war der Handel abgeschlossen, und die beiden Compadres
+verabschiedeten sich, jeder zufrieden: Der Estancieiro, weil er ein
+gutes Geschaeft gemacht hatte, und der Tropeiro,[63] weil er morgen ein
+noch besseres zu machen hoffte!
+
+Des anderen Tages stellte sich unser Estancieiro bei guter Zeit im
+Geschaeftshause ein und fand daselbst seinen Compadre Bento schon in
+angeheiteter Stimmung in der Venda[64] sitzen.
+
+... "Noch fuer einen Augenblick," stotterte da wieder der betrunkene
+Tropeiro. "Unter uns beiden braucht's zwar keine Quittung, ich habe
+dein Vieh und du hast mein Geld; damit ist unsere Sache erledigt. Aber
+bei den Herren von der Charqueada muss ich etwas Schwarz auf Weiss
+vorweisen; ..."
+
+... So wollte er gleich heute die ein paar hundert Milreis betragene
+Vendaschuld begleichen.
+
+... "Einen Moment Gedult, Compadre Joao, gleich ists prompt."[65] Und
+wirklich, es dauerte nur einige Minuten, so hatte der Estancieiro seine
+Rechnung zu Haenden, sie betrug 765$000. Er zug 4 von den
+funkelnagelneuen Zweihunderten heraus und reichte dieselben dem
+Geschaeftsmanne hin. Der beschaute sich die Dinger genau, holte aus
+seinem Geldschrank einen Schein derselben Estampa[66] heraus, befuehlte
+das Papier, schuettelte nachdenklich den Kopf und sagte nur das eine
+Woertchen "falsch"!

+A great deal of excellent poetry has been written by representatives of
+the German element in Brazil. These writers have, however, primarily
+used High German as their medium of expression and consequently their
+works do not come in consideration in this study of a dialect. On the
+other hand, we frequently come across poems where Brazilian German forms
+are more or less in evidence. The following, in which the Hunsrueck
+dialect forms the Germanic basis is presented by way of example.[84]
+(Apologies to Goethe!)

+
+THE SPOKEN LANGUAGE.
+
+The dialect under discussion, as spoken in the "pikaden" is practically
+incomprehensible to the German-speaking person traveling in Brazil for
+the first time. To the uninitiated it is even harder to understand than
+the German dialects of North America. The latter developed under the
+influence of a related language, as has been stated, while the former
+came into being because of linguistic influences entirely foreign.
+
+In order to give an idea of the spoken Brazilian German the following
+"Sprachprobe" by Breitenbach[96] is reproduced. While of somewhat
+peculiar composition, the example below quoted is a good representation
+of spoken Brazilian German.
+
+ Ein Kolonist faehrt in seinem mit einer Tolde[97] versehenen Wagen
+ aus, der mit einem Tupiano[98] und einem Zebruno[99] bespannt ist,
+ welche er von einem Tropeiro[100] von der Serra[101] gekauft hat.
+ Er will seinen Compadre[102] besuchen, findet die Porteira[103] zur
+ Pikade[104] verschlossen, oeffnet sie und erfaehrt von der ihm
+ entgegenkommenden Frau seines Compadre, der Mann sei in die
+ Rosse[105] gegangen, um einige Miljekolben[106] fuer die Mule[107]
+ und einige Bobres[108] fuer die Schweine zu holen, welche im
+ Poteiro[109] seien. Wenn er den Compadre aufsuchen wolle, so wuerde
+ er ihn leicht finden, jenseits der Sange,[110] die aber steile
+ Barankas[111] habe, so dass man beim Ueberschreiten derselben
+ vorsichtig sein muesse. Da unser Freund seinen Compadre in der Rosse
+ nicht findet, so geht er in den nahen Wald, aus dem Hundgebell ihm
+ entgegen schallt. Mit seinem Fakong[112] schlaegt er einige
+ Taquaras[113] und Zipos[114] nieder, um sich den Weg zu bahnen.
+ Bald trifft er denn auch seinen Compadre, der soeben ein Tatu[115]
+ ausgegraben und mit seinem Fuchs[116] erschlagen hat. Nach den
+ ueblichen Begruessungen begeben sich beide ins Haus und beschliessen,
+ sich am Nachmittag die Carreira[117] anzusehen. Gleichzeitig will
+ der Compadre einige Saecke Farin[118] mitnehmen, um sie dem
+ Vendisten[119] zu verkaufen. Zu diesem Behuf muss eine Mule
+ eingefangen werden was aber nicht ganz leicht ist. Die Mule ist
+ naemlich sehr stoerrisch und muss gepusst[120] und getockt[121]
+ wereden. Beim Hause angelangt, wird dem Tiere die Cangalje[122]
+ aufgelegt und die Ladung befestigt. Dann geht's fort.

+
+INTRODUCTION TO THE GLOSSARY OF BRAZILIAN GERMAN TERMS.
+
+For reasons previously stated, the language or dialect of the German
+settlers in Brazil underwent an almost immediate change, not in its
+syntax, but in its vocabulary. Had the immigrants and their descendants
+only adopted such words as had no equivalent in their mother-tongue, our
+case would be much simpler. They went, however, much further, and, as a
+result even many of the commonest words dealing with the household or
+farm were replaced at an early date by Brazilian Portuguese terms, or by
+new formations based on them.
+
+In the following representation of Brazilian German words and phrases an
+attempt has been made to select only such as have been adopted by
+German-speaking citizens in all parts of the country in question. In the
+few cases where words or phrases noted seem characteristic of any
+particular section of Brazil that fact is indicated. The glossary,
+moreover, makes no claim to completeness.
+
+The sources[123] of the expressions listed are Brazilian German
+newspapers, books, almanacs, pamphlets, advertisements, "Festschriften,"
+etc.,[124] as well as conversation with colonists. In the latter
+instance only such terms as were repeatedly used to the exclusion of the
+corresponding German terms were noted.[125]
+
+In the glossary is given first the Brazilian German term (in certain
+cases with variations), followed, by way of comparison as well as
+definition, by the corresponding High German form. If the Brazilian
+Portuguese[126] equivalent differs in form or gender it is given in
+parentheses. If no such parenthetical form appears it signifies that
+both languages are in the particular instance identical.[127] The German
+element in mixed compounds being self-evident, such words are treated as
+the simple Brazilian German forms.
+
+Gender is indicated except in the case of masculine nouns ending in
+_'-o'_ and feminines ending in _'-a.'_
+
+Terms dealing with weights, measures and coinage have not been noted
+except in cases where the Brazilian German form shows a modification of
+the original and in instances where the terms refer to units no longer
+current.[128]
+
+Special abbreviations:
+
+ R. = Rio de Janeiro.
+ R.G. = Rio Grande do Sul.

+APPENDIX.
+
+
+THE BRAZILIAN GERMAN PRESS.
+
+Among the many things the German agricultural colonist in Brazil had to
+dispense with so far as a supply from abroad was concerned, was reading
+matter. Even to this day books are a relative rarity in the home along
+the "picada." Only in the more important centers is there a general
+access to publications of this type.
+
+
+ALMANACS.
+
+As has been the case for centuries in German-speaking communities both
+in Europe and North America, where there has been a general lack of
+books, the want of reading-matter has largely been filled by that most
+important medium, the almanac. The same condition applies to Brazil. We
+might call the almanac the colonist's encyclopedia. It is his
+agricultural guide, medical adviser, compendium of short stories and
+poetry, moral guide, diary, and a thousand and one other things in
+addition to being the source of the information which an almanac is
+ordinarily supposed to furnish, i.e., list the change of seasons, days
+and months of the year, feast-days, eclipses, etc. To persons acquainted
+only with the folk-almanacs in Europe and North America, the entire lack
+of weather-forecasts in the Brazilian German editions is striking.
+
+Among the best known and most important German folk-almanacs in Brazil
+are:
+
+ _Rothermund's Kalender fuer die Deutschen in Brasilien_, published
+ in Sao Leopoldo and Cruz Alta, R.G. do Sul;
+
+ _Uhle's illustrierter deutsch-brasilianischer Familien-Kalender_,
+ published in Rio and Curityba;
+
+ _Der Familienfreund_, published in Porte Alegre;
+
+ _Riograndenser Marienkalender_, published in Porto Alegre;
+
+and
+
+ _Musterreiters Neu-Historischer Kalender_, published in Porto
+ Alegre.
+
+Rothermund's and Uhle's almanacs are perhaps the most important as well
+as the most voluminous. To them one might well apply the statement found
+in the preface to one of the well-known reading-texts published for use
+in the "Pikadenschulen": "Darin ist alles enthalten, was fuer gebildeten
+Kolonisten zu wissen interessant und lehrreich ist."[129]
+
+The almanacs mentioned above have for years been appearing regularly. In
+addition there have been many others, appearing, as a rule, only for a
+year or sporadically. Their influence has been of minor importance.
+
+In addition to being an indispensible source of information to the
+colonists, the Brazilian German almanacs are also most valuable to
+persons living outside of Brazil who want to form an idea of the life of
+those colonists.
+
+
+NEWSPAPERS.
+
+The history of the German newspapers in Brazil has its beginning in the
+early fifties of the past century. In October, 1852, _Der Kolonist_
+appeared for the first time in Porto Alegre. This journalistic effort
+was short-lived. From December, 1853, to July 10th, 1861, _Der Deutsche
+Einwanderer_, appeared in the same city. Beginning with April 16th,
+1853, _Der Deutsche Beobachter_, edited by B. Goldschmidt and G.F. Busch
+appeared in Rio de Janeiro. This, like the preceding, soon turned from
+an ordinary newspaper into a propaganda-sheet for the solicitation of
+colonists and accordingly went out of existence. In 1858 the _Brasilia_,
+a weekly, appeared in Petropolis. It lasted about one year. Beginning
+with January 17th, 1864, the _Germania_, a weekly edited by Peter
+Mueller, appeared in the same city. This was a most important paper in
+its time and enjoyed a wide circulation. It lasted, however, only a few
+years.
+
+From 1860 to date the number of German newspapers with an ephemeral
+existence published in Brazil is legion. Excepting those above
+mentioned, we shall only concern ourselves with the ones which had a
+continual existence from the time of their founding and appearing to
+this day. They are included in the following list. In this list is
+indicated in each case the title of the paper, the place of publication,
+the number of times it appears weekly and the year in which it was
+founded.
+
+ _Deutsche Zeitung_, Porto Alegre. Daily. 1861.
+ _Kolonie Zeitung_, Joinville. Semi-weekly. 1862.
+ _Deutsches Volksblatt_, Porto Alegre. Daily and weekly, 1870.
+ _Germania_, Sao Paulo. Daily. 1877.
+ _Deutsche Post_, Sao Leopoldo. Daily. 1880.
+ _Blumenauer Zeitung_, Blumenau. Semi-weekly. 1881.
+ _Neue Deutsche Zeitung_, Porto Alegre. Daily and weekly. 1881.
+ _Der Beobachter_, Curityba. Thrice weekly. 1889.
+ _Kolonie_, Santa Cruz. Thrice weekly. 1890.
+ _Der Urwaldsbote_, Blumenau. Semi-weekly. 1892.
+ _Nachrichten_, Petropolis. Semi-weekly. 1892.
+ _Deutsche Zeitung fuer Sao Paulo._ Daily. 1897.
+ _Vaterland_, Porto Alegre. Daily. 1901.
+ _Der Kompass_, Curityba. Thrice weekly. 1901.
+ _Volks-Zeitung_, Sao Bento. Weekly. 1908.
+ _Die Serra Post_, Ijuhy. Semi-weekly. 1910.
+ _Brusquer Zeitung_, Brusque. Weekly. 1911.
+ _Deutsche Wacht_, Pelotas. Semi-weekly. 1914.
+ _Deutsches Tageblatt_, Rio de Janeiro. Daily. 1914.
+
+From what has been said above, in reference both to almanacs and
+newspapers, it will be noted that Porto Alegre in Rio Grande do Sul has
+from the beginning been the most important center for Brazilian German
+journalistic efforts.

+
+
+
+BIBLIOGRAPHY.
+
+
+The works listed below are important sources for the study of the
+history and cultural status of the German element in Brazil. Books,
+important pamphlets and several manuscripts are noted. A great many
+articles dealing with the general subject of the German element in
+Brazil have in the past appeared in newspapers and periodicals such as
+the _Alldeutsche Blaetter, Ausland, Der Deutsche Ansiedeler, Deutsche
+Erde, Deutsche Koloniezeitung, Echo, Globus, Petermann's Mitteilungen,
+etc._, and particularly in the Brazilian German almanacs and newspapers
+listed in the appendix. Due to the fact that a complete list of these
+articles would require a volume in itself, they are not further
+indicated.

+(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.]

+(trademark/copyright) agreement. If you do not agree to abide by all
+the terms of this agreement, you must cease using and return or destroy
+all copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in your possession.

+Gutenberg-tm electronic work and you do not agree to be bound by the
+terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the person or

+
+1.B. "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark. It may only be
+used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
+agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement. There are a few
+things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
+even without complying with the full terms of this agreement. See
+paragraph 1.C below. There are a lot of things you can do with Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement
+and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works. See paragraph 1.E below.
+
+1.C. The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"
+or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works. Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States. If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed. Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work. You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D. The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work. Copyright laws in most countries are in
+a constant state of change. If you are outside the United States, check
+the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
+creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project
+Gutenberg-tm work. The Foundation makes no representations concerning
+the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
+States.
+
+1.E. Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
+
+1.E.1. The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
+access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently
+whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work on which the
+phrase "Project Gutenberg" appears, or with which the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:
+
+This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with
+almost no restrictions whatsoever. You may copy it, give it away or
+re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included
+with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org
+
+1.E.2. If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges. If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1
+through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the
+Project Gutenberg-tm trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or
+1.E.9.
+
+1.E.3. If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted
+with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
+must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional
+terms imposed by the copyright holder. Additional terms will be linked
+to the Project Gutenberg-tm License for all works posted with the
+permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.

+1.E.4. Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
+work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.
+
+1.E.5. Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this
+electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without
+prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with
+active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm License.
+
+1.E.6. You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
+compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any
+word processing or hypertext form. However, if you provide access to or
+distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format other than

+posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site (www.gutenberg.org),
+you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a
+copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon
+request, of the work in its original "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other
+form. Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.

+1.E.7. Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying,
+performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg-tm works

+ you already use to calculate your applicable taxes. The fee is
+ owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he
+ has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the
+ Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation. Royalty payments
+ must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you
+ prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax
+ returns. Royalty payments should be clearly marked as such and

+ does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+ License. You must require such a user to return or
+ destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium
+ and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of
+ Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+

+ money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the
+ electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days
+ of receipt of the work.
+
+- You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free
+ distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm works.

+
+1.F.
+
+1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
+PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
+TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
+INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
+DAMAGE.
+
+1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
+your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund. If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS', WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
+WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
+
+1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/pglaf.
+
+
+Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.

+
+Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations. To donate, please visit:
+https://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate
+
+
+Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+ https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
