palatinate

Parts of the Palatinate were settled by Allemanic speakers (for a time: many then moved to the Americas).

They were invited to the Palatinate (and nearby areas) to restore agriculture after the Thirty Years' War.

The bulk of Pennsylvania Dutch (read: Deutsch) made their way from German-speaking Switzerland to the Palatinate before leaving for the Americas.

Knopp is actually common in southern German dialects as well, including palatinate and hessian.

The theory is that he played a significant role in the (literal) conspiracy to bring Princess Elizabeth and Frederick V of the Palatinate to become the new Queen and King of Bohemia, and rule Protestant Europe.

Also, all those parts are pretty vocal: I think Germany is the only country that has developed regional Wikipedias (at least Bavaria, Palatinate and Northern Germany).

Which is extra funny when you run into these kinds of dialects near big US military installations, like Grafenwöhr, where the locals speak with an extremely thick upper palatinate dialect.

The party came second in two out of the three states having suffered strong losses in Rhineland Palatinate (where the center-left Social Democratic Party won) and Baden-Wurttemberg (where the Green party won) and only retaining its lead in Saxony-Anhalt.

While there were several independent cities of the Holy Roman Empire, there were several large duchies and kingdoms--most notably Brandenburg, Bohemia, Saxony, the Palatinate (the four secular electors), as well as Bavaria and Austria.

No modern German loses their sleep over whether his city was once plundered by the Palatinate forces or burnt to the ground by a Saxon army, and would not dismantle modern Germany just because such atrocities once took place.) Also, the Roman empire did not dissolve into a vacuum, with the previous provinces simply declaring their long desired independence.

The US has not released their pay, which is processed by the German “Wage Office for Foreign Armed Forces” in Rhineland-Palatinate.

A huge chunk of the "Pennsylvania Dutch" Amish came from the Palatinate[1], which German dialect informs their speech, and explains why outsiders are collectively "The English".

This was in the late 80s and early 90s in a part of Rhineland-Palatinate that is still designated as a practice area for fighter jets.

I'm currently doing my A levels in a small school in the Upper Palatinate.

By that logic, there would be nothing to complain about if the US takes over the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate since they already have an air base there (Ramstein).
