Synopsis
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.
