<div style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">Dear friends,</div>
<div style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">About two years ago, I found a web site as per the following adress. I
was much interested in this information on "Low German" in Kansas and contacted
the main person of the group. Since then,</div>
<div style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">I receive the news letter of "Low German Heritage Society" in Washinnton
and Marshall Counties,Kansas.</div>
<div style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"> </div>
<div style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><font size="2"><a href="http://www2.ljworld.com/news/2005/feb/28/ku_student_part/" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://www2.ljworld.com/news/2005/feb/28/ku_student_part/
</a></font></div>
<div style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"> </div>
<div style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">You will find sound files attached the above. I don't know of which
area the Low German is, which the speaker, a woman, speaks.The person,
whom I contacted is now a visiting professor of Western Kansas University of the
German faculty.</div>
<div style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"> </div>
<div style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">I wonder if you know him Dr. Scott Seeger and the abovementioned .</div>
<div style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">information. </div>
<div style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"> </div>
<div style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">Best regards,</div>
<div style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">Yasuji ut Japan<br><br>----------<br><br><font style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><font size="1"><font size="2">

Subject: Language varieties<br><br>Thanks, Yasuji.<br><br>If I remember correctly, the dialect(s) of Kansas was brought from somewhere in Schleswig-Holstein a long time ago but has been developing into a uniquely American one since.
