| Abstract | From the back cover (same as 2003 edition): "The most extensive reference work to date on the vital language of thousands of Mennonites in places as far flung as Russia, Canada, and Latin America. Aside from a concise history and grammar of the language, this dictionary contains more than twenty-five thousand entries ranging from Aeajdatjs (lizard) to Resse'rieta (prankster) and Zyreen (siren) taken from everyday speech, popular sayings, and literature. Offers a fascinating view of the history and present state of Mennonite Low German, which, unlike most minority and immigrant languages worldwide, continues to thrive and grow." |
| Notes | From Preface to the New Edition: "In essence, this edition is a reprinting of the 2003 volume... since the Max Kade Institute has no plans to keep the dictionary in print.... We have reset all the material and, in the process, corrected some small errors and typos." Donated by Jack Thiessen. |
