Sojourner is a very good person that not many people new about her do a speech on her if you can. Thank you. Clearly Dutch-English sounds nothing like the southern drawl we are use to hearing of this speech- but what does that sound like and who would know? The several versions of the words are powerful and that is what is important. She would have learned the version of English she was most exposed to, which might well have been some sort of southern dialect.
She picked up the language spoken by people around her, which would have been mostly fellow slaves and uneducated white slave foremen. We modern educated people would do well to question our assumption that a speaker needs to talk like us to sound smart.
I would agree with your assumption regarding intellect. However I would never argue Sojourner spoke in a sounder slave dialect. She only spoke low-land Dutch upnuntil she was about 12 and then she lived in a community of Upper new yorknstate Dutch and slaves with the same… she was a northern slave whoncane from a Dutch community.
And she was reported to having a strong Dutch accent. A gross misrepresentation of Sojourners dialect and identity. Please research deeper! Yes Lynn this is correct. This is not debatable it is a fact. And sojourner only spoke Dutch until she was 10 Or 13 and then was forced to learn English from her Dutch owners.
Who also spoke English with a heavy Dutch accent that is now extinct and not resurrectanle due to the fact that recording devices had.
It been invented yet. While the dialect was written we are unable to know what those sounds were as the international phonetic alphebet was also not invented yet Thais alphebet now allows us to record any sound with symbols so we can capture accents exactly as they sound in time.
I have hunted through old texts and memoirs written from her area in New York from the time she was alive and I have worked with many dialecticians who have tried to get an idea of what this dialect would have sounded like. Unfortunately it is lost to us. We can only assume it is probably a variation of what a contemporary Dutch speaking person who learned english later in life now speaks like. Anyways we know Sojourner definitely did.
It have a southern accent as she was quoted and written about as having a very distinct upper New York State Dutch accent. Thank you for the question. Best , Leslie. They speak exactly this way. Their dialect is Dutch a derivative of German and English is a second language. Dar and whar pronounced like car der Also the word youns also Dutch which is not found in the south at all.
