Hello lowlanders!

It's me again, did you ever look at this in the net:

http://www.dbnl.org/auteurs/auteur.php?id=wink007

Johan Winkler seems to me the unknwon ancestor of lowlands-l in the
nineteenth century. It's an exellent source about LG form Duinkerk to former
Koningsbergen and even to some "Sprachinseln" in Russia.

I looked at the archieves, Johan Winkler was never discussed in lowlands-l.

Regards,

Karl-Heinz

Servus, Karl-Heinz!

It seems like Winkler was just one of a number of researchers, writers and 
language activists that as part of the 19th-century romantic era looked at 
the entire linguistic and cultural continuum from France to Russia -- yes, 
not unlike we are doing here.  Many of those guys were in touch with each 
other or inspired each other indirectly.  Klaus Groth and Fritz Reuter were 
also parts of that scene.

What finally broke up this movement were not only the 20th-century wars and 
national(istic) centralization (i.e., triumph of national identity over 
ethnic and linguistic identities) but also the fact that the Nazi propaganda 
machine exploited it to appeal to the populations of Belgium and the 
Netherlands (not totally without success) before and during German 
occupation of those countries.  This has since led many people to throw the 
baby out with the bathwater.

Regards,
Reinhard/Ron
