Dear Hugo,

Perhaps the following short poem in Plautdietsch
answers your query above.

"Plautdietsch"
von J.H. Janzen
1878-1950

Maunch eena kaun kjeen Plautdietsch mea
un schäämt sikj nich eenmol:
Em Jäajendeel, he meent sikj sea
met siene huage School,
räädt Huagdietsch, Enjelsch, Russch -- soo vääl
daut eenem dieslich woat.
Weat es de gaunze Kjläätamähl
nich eene Schinkjeschwoat.

Aus ekj noch kjleen wea, saut ekj oft
bi Mutta opp'e Schoot,
opp Plautdietsch sääd se, -- O, soo oft --
"Mien Jung, ekj si di goot!"
Waut Mutta Plautdietsch to mi sääd,
daut klung soo woarm un tru,
daut ekj daut nimmamea vejäät
bat to de latzte Ruh.
Enj

Cheers!
Reuben Epp
