Subject: Help needed

Dear Lowlanders,

A friend is looking for the equivalents of "(Please) do not disturb" (as on
signs on hotel room doors) in the following language varieties:

Scots
   Mainlands
   Ulster
Frisian
   Westerlauwer ("West")
   Sater
   North Frisian (as many varieties as possible)
Low Saxon (Low German)
Limburgish

For Northern Low Saxon dialects of Low Saxon (Low German) I'd suggest
(singular) "Laat mi maal tofreden", (plural) "Laat us maal tofreden."

He didn't ask it, but what about Zeelandic (Zeeuws) and West Flemish?

Regards,
Reinhard/Ron
