></span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Subject: Etymology<br><br>Folks,<br><br>One of my questions has been answered: Low Saxon <i>is</i> still spoken in Southern Africa, namely in Namibia and in some South African communities, definitely in New Hanover and in the Drakensberge.
<br><br>North German Radio TV has a series of reports about "Platt" communities around the world. South Africa and Namibia have been reported from, as have been the USA (New York City, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska), the Russian Federation (Grishkova, Siberia), Australia (Sydney), Brazil (Pomerode) and Paraguay.
