Like many towns in the state, which were settled by German-speaking Europeans in the 19th century, the German language is still present in daily family and community life, if not as much in the public sphere since [[World War II]]; the regional German dialect is called [[Riograndenser Hunsrückisch]], as it is a Brazilian variant of the dialect spoken in the [[Hunsrück]] region (Southwest Germany). In 2012 the state chamber of deputies voted unanimously in favor of recognizing this German dialect an official historical culture good to be preserved.
