| Abstract | More than 3,000 Pennsylvania German words with example sentences as compiled initially by Dr. Ruth Bender for her 1929 master's thesis. Bender taked with families of the small Amish and Mennonite farming town of Kalona in Johnson County, Iowa, working often with children. The Kalona, Iowa, words in context feature many everyday expressions, often referring to an earlier time period, and also highlight regionally-specific usages that differ from those in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. |
