Subject: Numbers!
Dear Ron / Lowlanders
It was with great interest that I read the letter of Luc Hellinckx and
his
various expressions, and also the responses that his letter generated.
With the same aim in mind as Luc, that is to choose universal words that
highlight the subtle differences between the lowlands languages, I have
decided to compile a list of numbers, as these words are generally quite
similar.
I have so far translated this list into English, Dutch and German, but
my
knowledge of Frisian and Low Saxon is presently far from complete so I
will
need some help from the other members in preparing this table.
ENGLISH FRISIAN DUTCH LOW SAXON GERMAN
1 one ien een een eins
2 two twa twee twee zwei
3 three drie dree drei
4 four vier vier
5 five vijf fuenf
6 six zes zoess sechs
7 seven zeven sieben
8 eight acht acht
9 nine negen neun
10 ten tien zehn
11 eleven elf elf
12 twelve twaalf twoelf zwoelf
13 thirteen dertien dreizehn
14 fourteen veertien vierzehn
15 fifteen vijftien fuenfzehn
16 sixteen zestien sechzehn
17 seventeen zeventien siebzehn
18 eighteen achttien achtzehn
19 nineteen negentien neunzehn
20 twenty twintig zwanzig
30 thirty dertig dreissig
40 forty veertig vierzig
50 fifty vijftig fuenfzig
60 sixty zestig sechzig
70 seventy zeventig siebzig
80 eighty tachtig achtzig
90 ninety negentig neunzig
100 hundred honderd hundert
Please feel free to modify the list as required, particularly with
regard to
tranlsation into those languages which I may have failed to mention. As
can
be seen, there are many omissions. My apologies to the Dutch population
if I
have missplet the words for 14 and 40 but I was in a rush and did not
have
time to double-check these. Apologies also for the omission of umlauts
and
accents, this is not intentional but I have not worked out how to
include
these from hotmail.
Regards
David Elsworth.

Here you go, David. Below is the amended list with German items
properly "diacriticized" and the Low Saxon (Northern Low Saxon (Low
German)) and Westerlauwer Frisian columns completed.
