| Abstract | 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. |
