The missionaries had already begun, during the voyage, to learn Portuguese, the lingua franca and the local Indian language, Tamil. With increasing work, the missionaries shared their community tasks. Plütschau focused on the parishioners who spoke Portuguese and Ziegenbalg on the Tamil-speaking community because of his particular language skills. In 1711, Plütschau returned to Germany for health reasons. There he brought out Luther's Small Catechism in Tamil and taught mission candidates in the language. In 1714, he received the pastorate of Beidenfleth, ruled at the time by the Danish Crown, where he worked until 1750. He died two years later.
