Subject: Old Low Franconian

Dear Ron and all others,

in your translation of the speech made for you by the Flemish minister you
mention in your note commenting the sentence *Hebben olla vogala
[vogola]....:*
" oldest extant text in Old Low Franconian".

I know that according to the  (or at least an ) common opinion this is
indeed (one of) the oldest known Old Low Franconian texts.
However, I also had noticed that some consider this rather as an early
Anglo-Saxon text.
I cannot judge how serious this should be taken. Anybody around who can
enlighten me in this?

regards

Georg Deutsch

Georg,

I can't give you an authoritative answer to your question. But while we're
at it, let me just throw into the arena that I have also read about the
claim that the sentence is more likely to be Old Limburgish than Old Dutch.

Regards,
Reinhard/Ron
