'Spraak' is Plattdüütsch word that means language ( 'taal' means 'language' in East Frisian Plattdüütsk only).|

By the way. I'm no fan of rap music. In fact, I hate it with a passion. Still, it has to be told, our immigrants respect the Dutch language more than the 'own people' here.

Everytime a Moroccan makes music here, the lyrics are in Dutch. Most of the time a Dutch or Fleming makes a song, it's in English.

Perhaps only Low Saxons (Niedersachsen/Neddersassen/Nedersaksen) can say it.

We do let a little thing like a puddle of water separate us. We don't consider you English and never will. If you want to pretend to be our best buddies, feel free, but just know that we don't feel the same way. You're just bunch of cloying wannabes, suckups and tryhards.

Of course not all of us feel the way this fellow does. Please take his lone comment with a spoonful of salt.

Dutch is the best Germanic language after English.
Another Truth   Tue Jun 22, 2010 7:12 am GMT
Dutch is standardised variety of Low German.

Dutch is just simplified German. Fact!
