'''Plautdietsch''', or '''Mennonite Low German''', is a language spoken by the [[Mennonites]], who are ethnically [[The Netherlands|Dutch]], but who adopted an [[East Low German]] dialect while they were refugees in the [[Vistula]] delta area of [[Royal Prussia]] (later the [[Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth]]), beginning in the early-to-mid [[16th century|1500s]]. Beginning in the late [[18th century|1700s]], when the region became part of the [[Kingdom of Prussia]], many Mennonites left and created new colonies north of the [[Black Sea]] (present-day [[Ukraine]]), in an area that [[Russia]] had recently acquired in one of the [[Russo-Turkish War, 1768-1774|Russo-Turkish Wars]]. Many Mennonites migrated to [[North America]] — especially [[Canada]] and [[United States|United States of America]] — and [[Latin America]] — especially [[Paraguay]] and [[Mexico]], — most of them live as rural settlers and added some [[Spanish language|Spanish]] and [[Portuguese language|Portuguese]] words to their own language.
