Review:

"... has packed a remarkable amount of information in his 445 pages". "...the type of book that the readers may wish to digest in bits and pieces, to use as a reference book". "...describes the origins of Platt and its relationship to other languages". "...broad overview of the history of Europe and its people". "...the evolution of the German languages, including the major sound shifts which separate Platt from the other variants of German". "Other chapters outline German grammar and describes (various) High German and Low German dialects". "...well organized". "...is a necessary acquisition for those serious about Platt in America". -- Merle Arp, Editor American Schleswig Holstein Heritage Society Newsletter Vol 10, No. 6, Davenport, Iowa

"...targets the casual reader as well as the linguist". "...a great service in providing readers without linguistic training an introduction to the study of the Low German dialects". "This allows anyone with an interest in Platt Dtsch access to a significant body of work on the subject". -- Michael C. Lind Max Kade Institute Newsletter Vol 7, No. 4 Madison, Wisconsin

Thank you very much for the Platt Dtsch book. It is exactly the type of reference book I was looking for. I won't hesitate to recommend it to anyone interested in Platt. -- A Reader, Brian Frerichs Marion, Illinois
