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.
