It is “Pfaelzisch”, South West German dialect. It’s not related to the Alemannic dialects such as Swiss German. They start geographically further South. See a map here: https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fo...

Yeah but pretty sure Amish dialects have drifted pretty far on their own, as well.

Parts of the Palatinate were settled by Allemanic speakers (for a time: many then moved to the Americas).
