Dear all,

I'm to reveal a shocking ignorance and idiocy on my part with regard Low
Saxon: I don't entirely know how different the language is from Dutch.
So far as I understand it - and my linguistic [in]aptitude has lapsed
greatly since I relocated to Australia - Low Saxon is part of a
"sprachbund" or dialect-continuum with Dutch... isn't Dutch "ik" and
"maken" also "ik and "maken" in Low Saxon?

I would very much appreciate a short core-vocabulary wordlist of
comparisons between Standard Dutch and the Low Saxon variants, if possible.

Dank u (and apologies to Low Saxon),
Criostoir.
