"Germanic dialects - including Alsatian German and Anglo Saxon - have followed different routes over time, but many similarities survived the great change of 1066. English has preserved old Germanic words that no longer exist in Standard German, but which we can rediscover in Alsatian German and Old High German." "This original, comparative multilingual dictionary enables English speakers to use their knowledge of English to learn basic Alsatian. It reveals many surprising family relationships and similarities between the two languages that readers will find fascinating to explore - do you know the Alsatian words behind the English "jump" and "turnip"?"--Jacket.
