AbstractGommermann's article claims that the speakers in Wisconsin and Illinois of the dialect "Stifoler" originated in East Hesse. From there they immigrated to Hungary, where they stayed for 250 years and acquired Hungarian elements to their speech before finally immigrating to the United States, where they incorporated English elements.
