South African English

Agree Travis :)

Besides, either Sander has already started to celebrate Queens Day or this is NOT Sander ;))

No,its a joke ofcourse....still it aint a language.Is a dialect SO bad then?!

The main thing that probably confused you guys is that Intergermania is basically using German word order, including the verb movement stuff; notice how the German example is so similar to the original Intergermania one, even though many of the words themselves are spelled more like if they were Low Saxon, Dutch, or English words, written with a modified Dutch orthography.

No Sander a dialect isn't so bad but can understand why its so important to Mathjis. Once Afrikaans was there too.. :)

Mathijs just has to learn that you can't have everything ;)

Although I can understand that the 'language-mark' would make WF much more prestegious....

I myself agree strongly with andre, and if Afrikaans is a language separate from Dutch, which it is, then West Flemish too must be considered a distinct language from Dutch as well.

Of course. And put the Flemish in a much stronger bargaining position in Belgium...

=>then West Flemish too must be considered a distinct language from Dutch as well.<=

Please Travis tell me where the differences lie...

And put the Flemish in a much stronger bargaining position in Belgium...

Genau!Mein Sud-Afrikanischer freund.

andre, but we do *not* want that stronger bargaining position part to go strengthen the position of the likes of Vlaams Belang and like; but my grounds for supporting West Flemish as being a separate language is not a matter of politics as such, but rather a matter of supporting minority languages, and part of such is acting to help legitimize them as distinct languages, rather than as just "dialects" or like.

By the way,you will have to miss me for 6 days,Im going on a little vacation...

Ik vord dik later dan sien, Sander!

Of course Travis. That is not what I meant. But as long as the Flemish people do not have their language recognized, they will feel insecure, and support parties such as Vlaams Belang, which thrives on insecurity.

Ag, nee Sander!! Will miss you! Where are you going?

andre, I agree completely with respect to such.

Going to Germany...
