This is 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 form a concise history and grammar of the language, this dictionary contains more than twenty-five thousand entries-From Aajdatjs (lizard) to Resse'rieta (prankster) and Zyreen (siren)-taken from everyday speech, popular sayings, and literature. This work offers a fascinating view of the history and present state of the Mennonite Low German, which, unlike most minority and immigrant languages worldwide, continues to thrive and grow.

This book is your key to understanding the language spoken by the Amish. It is spoken not only in Pennsylvania, but also in other Amish communities throughout the United States. Some variations in the dialect exist from one locality to another. This dictionary reflects the everyday usage of the language by the Amish in Homes County, Ohio.

The new spelling system in this dictionary was developed through extensive surveys with readers by Hank Hershberger, translator of Es Nei Teshtament (Pennsylvania Deitsh New Testament). The spelling system used makes Pennsylvania Deitsh easy to read and pronounce for anyone.

If Pennsylvania Deitsh is not your mother tongue, this dictionary and the grammar explanations will help you to understand this dialect. If you are a native Deitsh speaker, and have had difficulty writing in Deitsh or defining a Deitsh word to an English speaker, this dictionary will make it easier for you.
