Volume 11 of the best Pennsylvania German Dictionary out there!
The Comprehensive Pennsylvania German Dictionary is the best Deitsch dictionary I have ever had the chance to use. It is so much better than all of its competition. I especially recommend it to anyone who wants to explore Pennsylvania German literature.

Each volume comes with a short introduction to Pennsylvania German orthography and pronunciation and a bibliography of sources used. In case anyone is wondering, it uses the modern standard B-B-B orthography., rather than the spelling system found in Es Nei Teshtament.

This volume also includes a short supplement to the dictionary, in total about 70 pages long.
