Dutch Anabaptists
editThough the history of Mennonites and Low German can be traced back to the Netherlands everything in this article is cited and referenced reasonably well. Some of the material is lightly touched on in both the history and demographics section. As you can see just under 17% claim Dutch ancestry while over 50% claim German or Low German ancestry. This is why we say that there continues to be a strong German influence today. Because the city attracts both German immigrants today and maintains a strong Low German Mennonite history. A little more research on Low German reveals that their are different dialects with the remaining being that the Molotschna Dialect itself is the most likely to be spoken today in Steinbach (though the language is very quickly dieing out, minus a few short sayings). I am open to discussion but in order to change it to a Dutch Dialect not only must there be references but there must be observable evidence for it. As I live in this town I have not seen a lot of this (despite the Dutch style windmill or the evidence that many Mennonites here have come from the Netherlands, overwhelmingly this is a German town, both low and high).
