[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] GERMANS FROM RUSSIAN POLAND ACCENTS

[MIKE MCHENRY]

I would like thank everyone for the enlightening discussion. My grandparents
were Germans from Russian Poland (1901-2). They lived for quite some time in
Hoboken, NJ. Hoboken is one square mile in area. Prior to WWI it had an
estimated 24000 ethnic Germans. I often wonder based on list comments how
they might be accepted. Thanks again!

Can anyone tell me if the accents of German people from Russian Poland were
very different from Germans of Germany? I recognize that German accents vary
across Germany. I guess what I'm asking is it instantly recognizable that
the person is from Russian Poland
