Moribunt languages: Low Saxon

Why are you only able to spam this forum with that post 100 times? Can't you find some new evidence?

You haven't given any clue about what Gronings would be like. I think you're just a blatant troll in this discussion. So from now on I keep my mouth shut.

Wow, I didn't know Low Saxon produced such passionate feelings. Keep on discussing, trolling or whatever please.

I've looked at both of these sites, and neither one of them supports the claims you assert.

What am I missing here?

All Germanic languages excluding English are pure shit. Period.

@12345/Leasnam,


It's a misconception, on your side, that just because you talk back at me you thereby are somehow challenging, in any way, what I wrote. That's not the case.

-------------

Low German is dead. It died after the fall of the Hanseatic League and mass education in German. Only a few old people speak "it", and by "it" I mean less 'contaminated' versions of the older, real, Low Saxon language.

Pure languages do not exist. Some languages however, have very original material left in them. English, even with its many loans, doesn't even come close to this category. Low Saxon does.

There exist 2 varieties today. High German with a Low Saxon accent and Dutch with a Low Saxon accent.

A good example of how divided 'Low Saxon' is today. Wikipedia started with a single 'Low Saxon' project. It proved unworkable; and now there are two. One in *Dutch* Low Saxon, and one in *(High) German* Low Saxon.

If you, *Travis* don't like that notion, then it's tough luck. You, and various others here, can continue your *wishful thinking*, but do not pose it as the truth. The reality: Low Saxon is dead, dying, and no longer 'Low Saxon'.

English is no different from its Germanic brothers. It is no different from them in any respect. English = Germanic. What's good for them also applies to us. Period.

It's very easy to talk tough on the internet, though.
