Dear Piet Bult,

Thank you for your decent introduction! Personally, Stellingwarfs is about 
the only Low Saxon language that I am familiar with, as my parents live in 
Oldeberkoop / Berkoop (as a matter of fact I'll be there tomorrow).

For a couple of years I visited Oldeberkoop quite often and I got in touch 
with the Stellingwarver Schrieversrondte which happened to have its office 
in Oldeberkoop / Berkoop (before, they were in Wolvega / Wolvege). I met 
lots of interesting people and I grew fond of Stellingwarfs! I hope to do 
more for the language (first learn it properly) when I have more time. In 
1996 we even agreed on making a web-site for the Schrieversrondte, but the 
idea never really picked up. Maybe they didn't realise the unmatched 
benefits of the Internet.

Your surname rings a bell here: one of the most prolific writers for the 
Schrieversrondte magazine "De Ovend" was Oene Bult. Are you in any way 
related?

You said you translate the Bible into Stellingwarfs: do you do that together 
with other enthusiasts?

Best regards,

Marcel Bas.
