Abstract:

The Germanic Languages provides a survey of twelve Germanic
languages. Fully comprehensive, this book presents both detailed
research on the major Germanic languages and rarely covered minor
languages including Yiddish, Pennsylvanian German, and
Afrikaans. Extensive discussions of phonology, morphology, syntax,
lexis, and the main dialects plus a comprehensive index,
bibliographies, and maps of language distribution and development make
this a complete reference source.
