  In an otherwise excellent talk talk to the Franklin and Marshall College freshmen in 1870, John S. Stahr, after correctly identifying the Pennsylvania German dialect as being like the dialects of South Germany, “particularly the Pfaelzer dialect,” promptly proved he knew more about the where than about the what. “Change a few vowel sounds,” he insisted, “especially those of the modified vowels or Umlaute ö and ü, which are wanting in Pennsylvania German, and you make our dialect perfectly intelligible to the Pfaelzers, whilst no Pennsylvania German has any difficulty in understanding them” a statement that would indicate Stahr did not fully understand the true nature of the dialects of the Palatinate and their relationship to Pennsylvania German.

  ^{1} When processing German text with T_EX one is faced with the following problem: Many German words contain “umlaute” (ä, ö, ü, Ä, Ö, Ü) and/or the sharp S (ß). These letters are normally produced by control sequences (\"a . . . \"U< or \ss).

  ^{2} A reasonable place for the German umlaute might be the positions ’32 . . . ’37 in the Computer Modern text fonts where normally the Scandinavian ligatures are placed.

  ^{3} The creation of the umlaute as described above is just a few lines of code.

  ^{4} It should be noticed that the procedure for handling umlaute as described above keeps T_EX source files portable to other installations.

However, there are still people who do not use microsoft compatible computers (like Apple2) and who are not planning to buy a new computer just to be able to read umlaute. My suggestion is that umlaute be written as "a or ae, "o or oe, "u or ue.
