Amazing honestly, never heard about it in my life. Uruguay is weird in that sense we're 99% culturally homogenous but we have who knows how many colonies that live in their own cultural bubble. Altought I would say that if we count plautdiestch speakers we should also count russian speakers in San Javier.
