[edit] American German

I believe this page to be original research. Google turns up nothing noticable, and no references have been provided. aliceinlampyland 17:11, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, original research at best, total ballocks at worst. Angr (t • c) 17:51, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Not mentioned on Ethnologue
  • Not mentioned in Language Contact and Grammatical Change even though there is a specific section on P41 about German dialects in the USA.
  • It is not a pidgin. A pidgin is when people in a community who speak languages A and B and can't talk together with those two languages use a simplified form of language C (out of necessity) to communicate. It is not when learners of language C make mistakes when speaking to native speakers of language C.
  • Quote by the author Antman "I am working on a semi-constructed, semi-natural language that I personally called Amerikanischdeutsch. " [1]
  • The article was surely written as a joke...? Or do we now need to invent "pidgin languages" for French people learning Russian (Francorusse), German people learning Spanish (Españodeutsch), etc etc?

• Delete, per nom. This original research, and also non-notable, per Saintswithin. If the term "American German" was unique and commonly used, it might pass notability (similar to Spanglish) but I see no need for an article on the "language" itself. Lee Bailey 20:55, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
