How does one say "I love you" in Low Saxon? I've been wondering about
that for a while now.

In the Low Saxon I speak (Twente, Dutch side of the border), we don't
have a form similar to "I love you", "Ich liebe dich", "Je t'aime",
etc. We've addopted the Dutch format, "Ik hou van jou", so we say "Ik
hold' van (d)u".

How does one say "I love you" in for example North German Low Saxon?

regards,
Henry

Thanks for breaking the deafening silence here, Henry.

I would say:
Written: *Ik heff di leef.*
Phonemic: /ʔik hev diy leyv/
Phonetic: [ʔɪk hɛf di ˈlɛɪf]

Cf. German:
Ich liebe dich. (I love you [lover])
Ich habe dich lieb. (I love you [relative, friend, etc.])
