Where to start

The colonies in Russia and Ukraine, and the settlements in Canada, Mexico, Paraguay and Bolivia.
Forum
Ask, remember, argue — in whichever of our languages you like.
The language
Where Plautdietsch comes from, how it sounds, and how it is written today.
Culture
Faith, songs, customs and the habits that travelled with us.
Food
Zwieback, Borscht, Vereniki — the recipes everybody argues about.

Chat
Live rooms by topic, language and age.
Social media
Plautdietsch on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube — a profile card for each.
Four languages, one people
Our families were scattered across Russia, Germany, Canada, Mexico, Paraguay and beyond — and the languages went with them. Everything here is published in Russian, German, Spanish and English. Plautdietsch itself is always welcome as an original: we never translate it away.
