A long time ago I read an article where-in was told that it also had
somthing to do with the differences of i.g poor farmers in Drenthe (op heur
aarme zaandgrond) and the much less poor industrials in Twente and even more
southwerts.

Dit sluut veur wat dat betreft misschien ok aorig an bi'j mien vraoge over
et Bokwerds van Rink van der Velde. As et ienvooldig volk perbeert om deftig
te praoten dan ontstaon d'r bi'jtieden aandere woorden as bi'j et
ienvooldige volk onder mekeer. Op alderhaande bi'jienkomsten roep ik al
zovaeke dat oons Stellingwarfs zo vlak is, gien amplitudes (hoge of lege)
kent. Wi'j slaon nooit es mit de voest op taofel en zullen niet vlogge an 't
goelen raeken.

See also our quote in the next issue (may 2) of An de liende:
Johan Winkler (1840-1916): "Volgens mijn gehoor en naar mijn smaak is het
stellingwerfsch het eenigste van alle neder- en friso-saksische dialecten,
voor zoo verre ze in Nederland worden gesproken, dat inderdaad bevallig,
aangenaam en welluidend klinkt."
And that's where I live...!
Mit een vrundelike groet uut Stellingwarf,
