Dear Editor,<br>
<br>
Thank you and the rest of the staff for your continued good work on behalf of <span style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204); cursor: pointer;" class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1198884451_0">Europe</span> 's minority and regional languages.
<br>
<br><span>
While I am definitely a supporter, I keep being surprised by the absence of references
to Low Saxon (Low German) in your information material at <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.eurolang.net/"><span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1198884451_1">http://www.eurolang.net/</span></a>. </span><br></p>
<p style="margin-left: 40px; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal">We are talking about an
officially recognized regional language of eight northern states of <span style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204); cursor: pointer;" class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1198884451_2">Germany</span> (<span style="font-style: italic;">
Niederdeutsch</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Plattdeutsch</span>) and of the <span style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204); background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; cursor: pointer; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;" class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1198884451_3">
Netherlands</span>'
eastern provinces (<span style="font-style: italic;">Nedersaksisch</span>), the direct descendant of the Old Saxon
language. <br></p><p style="margin-left: 40px; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal">Now that our language has been made official after a long struggle,
it is <span style="font-style: italic;">you </span>of all people apparently ignoring it. What gives? I've been told to wait, and
I've been patient, but nothing has been changing at your end. <br></p><p style="margin-left: 40px; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal">Snap to it, folks! Or "Nu
man to!" as we say it in the language you're ignoring.<br>
<br>
Regards, and success for the new year!</p>
