The official homepage of Plautdietsch Friends Society:
Plautdietsch-Freunde e.V.
was founded in Oerlinghausen, Germany, in 1999, with the goal of
documenting, nurturing, and promoting the Plautdietsch language.
Plautdietsch is a West Prussian variety of Low German which emerged
approximately 450 years ago in the Vistula delta area of what is now
Poland. Speakers of Plautdietsch who emigrated from Western Prussia
through Southern Russia (present-day Ukraine), and who now live in
Germany, Canada, Paraguay, and other parts of the world, are also known
as "Russian Mennonites." Through its web resources and its journal
Plautdietsch Frind, Plautdietsch-Freunde offers an international forum
for all those who speak, read, write, or simply have an interest in the
language.
