Excerpt from Horne's Pennsylvania German Manual, Vol. 4: How Pennsylvania German Is Spoken and Written for Pronouncing, Speaking and Writing English In issuing the third edition of Horne's Pennsylvania German Manual the publisher is responding to a wide public demand. An examination of this new edition will reveal many additional illustrative features that will prove both interesing and instructive to the student and reader. In respect to the criticism passed upon Dr. Horne's method of spelling used in the Manual, let it be borne in mind that the author followed the phonetic rules with a suggestion of grammar contained in the book, which when carefully studied are of great aid in learning to read and pronounce the dialect correctly. It is an absolute necessity that all Pennsylvania Germans desiring to learn to pronounce the English correctly, faithfully study and practice the English pronunciation lessons especially prepared for this purpose by the author. These exercises are based upon long years of experience in school-work among the Pennsylvania Germans. Since the Second Edition was printed there have been many new additions to Pennsylvania German literature that have come into prominence. Selections from these are embodied. As previously stated the Manual serves as a Guide-book in pronouncing, speaking and writing English, and at the same time shows how Pennsylvania German is spoken and written.
