<br>
Dear Lowlanders,</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Please let me remind you
that our 15th anniversary is fast approaching and that our anniversary month
lasts from April 15 till May 15.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Our anniversary pages, our
by far most visited and linked-to pages, therefore beg for renewed
attention.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><a href="http://lowlands-l.net/anniversary/">http://lowlands-l.net/anniversary/</a></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">While their primary purpose
is to showcase Lowlands language varieties, they are also meant to celebrate language diversity in general.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">New versions in any language
variety (mentionable or unmentionable) are always more than welcome, as are
audio and video files of new and existing versions. Also welcome are additional
members’ introductions (<a href="http://lowlands-l.net/anniversary/members.php">http://lowlands-l.net/anniversary/members.php</a>).</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Kudos to our own Jean-Luc
Detilleux for facilitating the latest version: one in Lorraine Frankish, a West
Central German dialect group of France
that is closely related to Saarland Frankish (in which we have a version
provided by our own Larry Granberg). Jean-Luc gets a whopping kudos because, in
the true spirit of it, he took advantage of a new contact at a meeting by
shmoozing a gentleman from Lorrain into contributing a version in his dialect.
