“This impressive anthology will appeal to friends of Pennsylvania Dutch on both sides of the Atlantic. Despite the near extinction of the language among most Americans of Pennsylvania Dutch descent, it is important to highlight the efforts of those today, in the United States and around the world, who promote interest in one of the most fascinating chapters in American sociolinguistic history. May this anthology deepen readers’ appreciation of the rich past, present, and future of the language and culture of the Pennsylvania Dutch.”
Mark L. Louden, Professor of German, University of Wisconsin-Madison

“I thank the editors of this volume and the German-Pennsylvanian Association (Deutsch-Pennsylvanischer Arbeitskreis e.V.) for their praiseworthy undertaking. May the book find a wide readership among Pennsylvania Germans young and old and contribute to the ongoing effort to maintain and revive our beautiful Mudderschprooch.”
Senator Noah Wenger, Pennsylvania 36th Senatorial District
