Description: This new, first-ever dual language dictionary contains more than 21,000 Pennsylvania German words and their English counterparts. Dr. Stine has prepared a descriptive and not a prescriptive dictionary, in which the Lehigh-Northampton County variant of Pennsylvania German is the dominant version of the dialect. The author has taken care, however, to include significant differences from other areas, such as the Lancaster-York County and Schuylkill-Dauphin County regions. This dictionary documents, as much as possible, and even celebrates, regional variations in pronunciation and usage. - Introduction.
