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.
