Things we say: April 2008 Archives

Filey's School in Monaghan Township, an old one-room schoolhouse, went on to be used as a preschool. The Daily Record/Sunday News is putting together a book on one-room school memories and photos, and it's available for preorder here.

So here's something that's been bothering me for a while. And this morning, I found out that a few other people don't know this either:

How do you pronounce "Monaghan," the township in northern York County?

Is it MON-uh-han? Is it Mon-AGAIN? Or is it something even weirder, like Mon-OG-an?

Post a comment. Your response will keep the newspaper's editors from looking dumb. Well, it'll help, anyway.

If you do, you'd be wilkommen to a Pennsylvania Dutch dialect class series for beginners that starts Saturday, April 12, and continues April 26 and May 3, 10 and 24 at Providence Place on Fox Run Road in Dover Township.

If you're above the beginner level, the organizers - the Pennsylvania Dutch Heritage Group - will make more advanced study materials available.

The class is limited to 35 people, so call soon. Details are available at 266-2910. It should be a wunderbar gut time.
