* In [[Mario Pei]]'s book ''Language'', a popular poem in the dialect (with significant English influence in the form of loanwords) is printed; the free-translation is, in the main, by J. Cooper.
{{Verse translation |lang=pdc
|1=Heut is 's xäctly zwanzig Johr
Dass ich bin owwe naus; <!-- Should this be "owwen aus" (''cf.'' standard German "oben aus" or haplologized "oben und aus")? -->
Nau bin ich widder lewig z'rück
Und steh am Schulhaus an d'r Krick
Juscht nächst ans Daddy's Haus.
|2=Today it's exactly twenty years
Since I went up and away;
Now I am back again, alive,
And stand at the schoolhouse by the creek
Just next to Grandpa's house.
