Dag Laaglanders,

Ek stem met jou saam, Mark, maar het jy gehoor hoe stil het dit nou skielik 
geword?

Groete,
Elsie Zinsser

'Considered!?' 'An indigenous tongue?!' Van wanner af laat ons ander die
beslissing toe oor ons moedertaal, land en eie?

Ek en myne staan vasgewortel in hierdie Afrika in 'n sonderlinge wyse, nie
waar nie? Ons het die Naam gebring, die Taal ontwerp, en die Land gebou. Wys
my 'n ander volk met 'n gelyke inset in die Afrika, en ek wys jou nog 'n
'native'! Nog 'n Afrikaan!

Die Uwe,
Mark
