There are German speaking Mennonites in Paraguay’s Chaco (“Green Hell”) region. Their main city is Filadelfia.
There are still Basque speakers in parts of Nevada. They were adept at the lonely profession of sheepherding, so many settled here and some other parts of the west. We had a nearby Basque restaurant in my area of California’s Central Valley when I first moved here.
Main area of Basque communities in the United States.
The dominant language of South Tyrol is a German dialect.
Honorable mention: While the attempt to set up a society to preserve Welsh language in Patagonia failed, there are still distinctive Welsh place names as remnants.
