I have an idea for you. Go to http://www.sassisch.net and read some poetry
by Franz Brookmann. I am not familiar with the smaller towns in Germany, so
I would not know if you are near Hamburg, but this Brookmann writes in
Niedersassisch, and he translates to several languages including English,
Afrikaans, Dutch and High German. As an amateur philologist, I love that
cite, as I can see the relations and the differences among the varieties.
God bless!
Ben

Ben,

Thanks for the recommendation above, which I assume is directed at Tom.

I wrestled with myself a bit over what to do, if anything.  My pranksterish
and modest selves surrendered to my ethical (?) self.  I confess that Franz
Brookmann is no other than I.  It is my pen name under which I have
published Lowlands Saxon (Low German) poetry.  It is the name of my maternal
(West-Pomeranian-Saxon-speaking) grandfather and his son.  Their Lowlands
Saxon surname ended with their tragic ends quite a few years before I was
born.

I confess that the site needs some work, and the poetry displayed there is
of my "early phase."

And bless you to!
Reinhard/Ron
