Arnold (Abram Bernhard) Dyck (January 19, 1889 – July 10, 1970) was a Russian Mennonite writer born in Hochfeld, Ukraine.
He also wrote Low German plays, history, and short stories.
Dyck's books are among the first publications in the Mennonite dialect of Plautdietsch.
He is an important figure in Mennonite literature, as his works are regarded as influential not only in establishing and recording Mennonite humour, but as establishing Plautdietsch as a written language.
[2][3][4][5] In later years Dyck moved to Germany, where he died in Darlaten in 1970.
