Description and Table of Contents

Description

This is an extensive reference work on the vital language of thousands of Mennonites in places as far flung as Russia, Canada and Latin America. It provides a concise history and grammar on the language and more than 25,000 entries - from ""Aajdatjs"" (lizard) to ""Resse'rieta"" (prankster) to ""Zyreen"" (siren) - taken from everyday, speech, popular sayings and literature. This reference work offers a view of the history and present state of Mennonite Low German, which, unlike most minority and immigrant languages, continues to thrive and grow.
