Ron, Holger, Lowlanders,

The person who told me about this language also said that it was "spoken
in
rural Slovenia during the rule of the Austro-Hungarian
empire" and that is was influenced by Slavic.  I don't think I've heard
Slovenia mentioned in reference to Low Saxon, and, considering that
(High)German is spoken in Austria, but not, as far as I know, Low Saxon,
perhaps it is an offshoot of German rather than Low Saxon, and my source
has made an error.
