Gibb Sahib Discovering world legacy of shanties by 'Shogun' (266* d) RE: Discovering world legacy of shanties by 'Shogun' 14 Feb 21


Shogun,

Just figure out how to pronounce it! Call it whatever you want; you're making it too complicated with all these names. :)

I don't see the point in reading words from a book in a foreign language without knowing how to pronounce the words.

You had called it a "German" song, and I also noticed one thing you were doing in pronunciation was Standard German style: Pronouncing "S" like Z in English "zebra." But in Platt (pick a dialect!) the S should be like S in Italian "salami". That's different than Standard German.

There are Platt songs in Hugill and there are Standard German songs in Hugill. You'll need to distinguish them.

LOW GERMAN
De Hoffnung
De Hamborger Veermaster
Wat Wi Doht
De Runer Von Hamborg
No den Süden to...
Magelhan x 2
De Kock

HIGH GERMAN
Die Gute Alte Brigg
Es Gingen Drei Mädchen
Upidee, Upidah
Frisch Auf, Alle Mann an Deck
Hamburg, Du Schöne Stadt
Das Sampanmädchen
