To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Also the family names throughout the village are German ones — as Hindrik, Tod, Jager, Hubert, etc. Though none of these people can speak a word of Ger- man, and no one can remember the time when German was spoken in the village, yet during the revolution of 1848 these Hungarian-spealdng Germans rose to a man to fight against the Magyars. The Saxon dialect — totally distinct from modem Ger- man — has, I am told, most resemblance to the patois spoken by the peasants near Luxemburg. It is harsh a...nd unpleasant to the ear, but has in some far-off and indefin- able way a certain caricatured likeness to English. Often have I been surprised into turning round sharply in the street to see who could be speaking English behind me, only to discover two Saxon peasants comparing notes as to the result of their marketing. The language, however, differs considerably in different neighborhoods ; and a story is told of natives of two differ- ent Saxon villages, who, being unable to understand one another, were reduced to conversing in Roumanian.
