Mennonite Low German Dictionary/Mennonitisch-Plattdeutsches Worterbuch

This is an extensive reference work on the vital language of thousands of Mennonites in places as far flung as Russia, Canada and Latin America.

It provides a concise history and grammar on the language and more than 25,000 entries - from "Aajdatjs" (lizard) to "Resse'rieta" (prankster) to "Zyreen" (siren) - taken from everyday, speech, popular sayings and literature.

This reference work offers a view of the history and present state of Mennonite Low German, which, unlike most minority and immigrant languages, continues to thrive and grow.
