In our timeline, Pennsylvania Dutch (Pennsylvanisch) was descended from
a dialect of Low German. However, it gradually had greater and greater
English influence until it was essentially an English dialect with
German-like syntax, some examples are "Outen the lights" for "turn off
the lights", and a German-influenced pronunciation, like "britch" for
"bridge".
