<span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">From: "Larry Granberg" <<a href="mailto:lgranberg@usa.com">lgranberg@usa.com</a>></span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">
Subject: museum in Hamburg</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><div style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">Moien, </div>
<div style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"> </div>
<div style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">Hamburg recently opened a museum dedicated to those who emigrated
from Europe - since it touched on quite a few topics that were
discussed here I thought it appropriate.</div>
<div style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><a title="http://www.spiegel.de/international/germany/0,1518,492388,00.html" href="http://www.spiegel.de/international/germany/0,1518,492388,00.html" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">
http://www.spiegel.de/international/germany/0,1518,492388,00.html</a></div>
<div style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">This was brought to my attention by a friend who is from that area
and knows of my interests in language. While a very mean skat and doko
player - his pet theory is that Hamburg was originally part of
the territory inhabited by the Chamavi who are the true ancestors of
today's Lower Saxon speakers, and the tribal name is the root of the
city's name- I think is off the mark. Put it down to more gray hairs on
my head that I would rather not think about or stuff that rattles
around and gets mixed in the old noggin but I thought that the Chamavi
were Frankish and not Saxon speakers. Any thoughts?</div>
<div style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"> </div>
<div style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">Also while tripping around on the net I came across Herman
Rempel's Low German dictionary. I can't remember if he or his work was
mentioned here but I think that it ties in with somethings that Ron (I
hope?.....) posted concerning Low Saxon speakers in the Vistula/Gdansk
and then Russia. </div>
<div style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">here is the link</div>
