Hi, Folks!
Our Low Saxon/Low German language of Germany may not yet be considered by the
European Bureau for Lesser Used Languages, but in the meantime it has received
its own language code as international standard by the Library of Congress: "
nds" (for "NeDderSassisch" and "NedderDüütSch").  (Maybe you remember what I
wrote about this a few weeks ago, that those good folks had asked me about
it.)  You can read about these codes at the official website:
http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/
