Brazilian German is a generic name for German dialects spoken in the southern States of Brazil (mainly Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul).
German dialects are in use in Brazil as a result of German settlements, made by Germans, Swiss, and Austrians. These dialects evolved through foreign borrowings. They were influenced by other German dialects, other immigrant languages — especially Talian, and Brazil's national language, Portuguese.
The most commonly spoken Brazilian German dialect is Riograndenser Hunsrückisch, a Brazilian variation of the Hunsrückisch dialect. But other dialects of German are also spoken in Brazil, such as:
- The Austrian dialect spoken in Dreizehnlinden
- Danube Swabian (Donauschwowsch, German: Donauschwäbisch).[citation needed]
- Pomeranian or Pommersch.[citation needed]
- Plautdietsch spoken by ethnic German Mennonites from the former Soviet Union.[citation needed]
