Harms 3 Jacob Quintus and the Sheboygan Nieuwsbode Hans Krabbendam acob Quintus (1821-1906), son of Ja teacher in a small village in the Dutch province of Zeeland, has been largely forgotten in the Netherlands. In the United States his editorship of the fi rst Dutch-American newspaper (1849-1861) saved him from oblivion. One might argue that Quintus was not unique, since many other publica- tions were launched in the immediate years, but his publication was the fi rst successful enterprise and acted as an inspiration to others who recognized the Sheboygan Nieuwsbode as the model for the Dutch-language press in the United States.

  • The Return of the Prodigal Son
    Scripta Neophilologica Posnaniensia. Tom XVII, strony: 103–116 Wydział Neofilologii, Uniwersytet im. Adama Mickiewicza w Poznaniu, 2017 DOI 10.7169/snp.2017.17.07 THE RETURN OF THE PRODIGAL SON CAMIEL HAMANS Introduction Somewhere between 1811 and 1819 Rev. Stephanus Hanewinckel (1766–1856) translated the Parable of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15: 11–32) into the dialect of the Meijerij, a region in the eastern part of the Dutch province of North Brabant, not far from the city of ‘s-Hertogenbosch. Hanewinckel who was a minister and then held an incumbency in the villages of Warns and Scharn in Friesland, the northern part of the Netherlands far away from the southern province of North Brabant, became known in the Dutch literature because of his anti-papist travelogues about the region of the Meijerij, where has was born and to where he returned later in his life (Meijneke, 2009; Hamans, 2012). In his travelogues of 1798 and 1799 Hanewickel also showed a certain interest in the dialects of this region. In these books he published three word lists containing dialect forms and their Dutch equivalents. In a forth word list he collected High German words which were used as loanwords in the dialects of the Meijerij. In addi- tion, he commented upon the different dialects of the region and its neighbouring regions, compared the difference between dialects, offered dialect expressions, quot- ed special jargons and produced etymologies of place names incidentally. Although Hanewinckel is not very positive about the qualities of the dialects of the Meijerij, he nevertheless translated the Parable of the Prodigal Son into his na- tive dialect.

Neem de tijd en rijd niet te hard; de wegen zijn vaak smal en soms glad, maar je mist dan ook wat we je zo graag willen laten zien. We willen je vriendelijk vragen rekening te houden met de bewoners van de prachtige dorpjes en met de natuur. Neem de tijd om hier en daar te stoppen en bijvoorbeeld koffie te drinken uit je meegebrachte thermoskan. Voor de puzzelrit is onverwacht heel veel belangstelling. Bij het maken van de puzzelrit hebben we daarom een paar keuzes moeten maken, want er is te veel moois te zien. Ook hebben we rekening gehouden met de RIVM-regels. Zo hebben we vooral de buitenwegen gekozen en de grotere dorpen, zoals Oud-Beijerland, Numansdorp en ’s-Gravendeel overgeslagen. De route en de vragen zijn gemaakt voor volwassenen. Het duurt ongeveer 4 uur om de route helemaal te rijden. Je kan er ook voor kiezen om de puzzelrit over meerdere dagen te verspreiden. Het is een rondrit; dit betekent dat je vanuit verschillende plaatsen kunt starten. Zoek de plaats op in de routebeschrijving en start vanaf die plaats. - Numansdorp pagina 2 – Intratuin, Volgerlandseweg 1 - Nieuw-Beijerland pagina 6 – Graanschuur, Marktveld 2-10 - Heinenoord pagina 8 – museum HW, Hofplein - Westmaas pagina 9 – molen, Smidsweg - Strijen pagina 11 – kerk, Oude Havenweg - Puttershoek pagina 13 – haven, Oosthavenzijde Het is niet meer mogelijk om deel te nemen aan de wedstrijd.

West African slaves who came to New York in 1625 found a contact language useful and mandatory in order to function in the slave community. The earliest slaves in the New York area may have used Pidgin English, Pidgin Portuguese, or Pidgin French along with their own dialects for a language of wider communication. There are many reasons why Pidgin English would have been the most useful of these closely related languages. Dutch Creoles were very prominent in this early period, and their patois bears a strong resemblance to Pidgin English. Except for a few writers, no one had looked at the language of Black people in Northern cities until the 1960's. It is hoped that a sensible attitude toward Black English, a language with a long and honorable historical background, will be incorporated into the resultant efforts.(CK) U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH.
