The project “Amish Shwitzer as a mixed language with closely related parents" (2020-2022) is funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation. Aim of the project is to describe the grammar of Shwitzer, a language with roots in Bernese German that has been in ongoing language and dialect contact for centuries. Modern Shwitzer is spoken by a fast growing community in Adams County, Indiana.
