Reconstructing Linguistic History: What did Ontario's Earliest Amish Speak?

What language did Amish Mennonites speak when they began migrating to Southern Ontario from dialectally-diverse regions in German-speaking Central Europe? This lecture will analyze the speech of their descendants from East Zorra-Tavistock and Wilmot townships, compare it with what Amish and Old Order Mennonites speak elsewhere, and explore important implications for our understanding of the linguistic history of Anabaptists in North America more generally.

Join us for this year's Bechtel lecture presented by Dr. Mark Louden, in the Great Hall at Conrad Grebel University College on October 20th, at 7:30 PM.

Reception to follow.
