Subject: QUESTION

Dear List Members,

Who can help?

I am looking for information on the different orthographies used to write
the different Low Sawon dialects both in Germany, the Netherlands and the
USA.

In which ways differ these orthographies from the old medieval one?

What are the differences and similarities with the new (standard)
orthography of Low Saxon?

A totally other question:

Where can I find (buy) schoolbooks used (or still in use) amongst the
Plautdietsch speakers(Mennonietes)?

Is the old German script (Fraktur) still in use?

Greetings and thanks for your answer!
Stefaan R.W.VERMEIRE.
