Magschee du ha richt, Gabriele, ig gelöve dat mennig witskappers ha nik
had altîd genog respekt for de folke on de sprake dat dei undersökede,
der motivs ware naturlig ofte mêr selfisch den altruistisch. Oller de
effekts af der wirk ware negativ for de mennische, dat man sede okso.
So dîn vision is to mindest respektfull on principiel, on ig finde dat gôd
af di. Motte al tinge dat kan wese kenned okso wese kenned wirklig?
Nei, seker nik. Doch wil dat okso sege dat man kan nik have interesse in
fremmed sprake dârfor?

Nu ja, ig wete nik, for mi fremmed sprake, niu sprake, litt sprake, old
sprake, dialekts, sociolekts, unkenned variants etc. er so ungelövelig
interessant dat ig wil wete so mennig as mögelig over dem. Det is lîk as
ander mennische liuve ete, oller autos, oller kokaine magschee, on ig kan
nik helpe det...

Doch man motte late de mennische in rust we wynsche dat, on nik dwinge dem
to geve up der 'gehêm' wan dei wil nik, dat is mennig wichtig.

Tanke on til later!
