Ever since I came across Arminius1871's map of New Dutchland, I'm having thoughts about a German language nest somewhere in the United States part of the Northern Turtle Continent. Besides, as a Westerner and Middle-Westerner hybrid, I'm part German, and I would like my #GermanLanguageHeritage back, even if it means being at least bilingual (or perhaps trilingual or quadrilingual). Who's got thoughts about the idea of a German language nest in the continent, like there's a Hawaiian language nest or a Maori one? What could the German-American Heritage Foundation of the USA think of that initiative?

If Turner Classic Movies were to air a movie as a German-American Day special (German-American Day is on the 6th of October, FYI), I think it could be the 1959 version of Old Heidelberg (German: Alt Heidelberg), directed by Ernst Marischka. What do you think?

Oh thanks, well I think this would be great, because this "nest" did already exist,
until there was sadly an antigerman wave when the 1. world war started,
where many German-Americans were forced to assimilate or newspapers were forbidden.

A bilingual part somewhere in the midwest, where many German-Americans live could
be surely supported. I saw a lot about such towns as the Rheinvalley, Frankenmuth,
New Ulm, Bismarck etc. and that the Americans there live the german culture even more
than the Germans themelsves! You definitly need an organisation that supports you!
