German dialect in Texas is one of a kind, and dying out

[nikimcbee]

If you look at most any ethnic group that has been in the US for a few generations the trend will be about the same.Very few Italian-Americans would be able to have a conversation with an Italian.Most Japanese Americans do not speak Japanese.Most people of Scandinavian decent can not speak Swedish,Norwegian or Danish.

Then there's Mexico.

Mexico or Mexican-Americans? And if you are talking Mexican-Americans it depends on what group you are looking at and how long they have lived here if they and if they are long term or not.
