Very interesting, thank you. I had no idea there was a Low German speaking minority in Canada, of all places.
I listened to a snippet of Plaudietsch and found out the dialect is quite different from the Lower German still spoken around where I live (Northwestern Germany). That got me thinking: it would take a lot of effort for someone to learn an exotic language like this, so maybe it’s more feasible to rally some of the Mennonites who like the idea of vaccines to become ambassadors for their own wider communities? They would already be familiar with the communication channels.
