If you purchased Reuben Epp's first book, The Story of Low German & Plautdietsch, we are sure you'll be interested in Mr. Epp's new book. This extraordinary work culminates decades of studying Low German orthography and application of its "quasi-official"spelling guidelines to the Plautdietsch dialect. It will be of particular interest to those concerned with existing confusion in the spelling of Plautdietsch.
  • Describes in English and by word comparisons how to achieve greater spelling uniformity by adjusting Plautdietsch spelling forms toward those of other dialects of Low German.
  • Quotes from the works of recognized scholars to explain where Plautdietsch fits into the Low German mosaic of dialects.
  • Describes the impact of recognizing Plautdietsch as one dialect among many in Low German.
  • Draws together positive spelling forms of numerous Plautdietsch authors and harmonizes them with spellings in mainstream Low German.
  • Lists hundreds of Plautdietsch words embodying identical phonemes, positively identifying each word by comparing it with equivalents in Low German and English, German and Spanish.
  • Provides Plautdietsch, German and Spanish chapter summaries.
  • Exemplifies spelling forms in Bible readings, poetry and prose.
  • Contains a Bibliography and an Appendix of 30,000 Plautdietsch words.
