</font><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2"> </font></p>Speaking about Dutch colonial languages: Are there any (recent or
former) Dutch Low Saxon speaking colonies/towns somewhere in the world?
There are plenty of German Low Saxon regions (Plautdietsch in Northern
Asia, North, Middle and South America, Pomeranian in Brazil, several
different Low Saxon dialects in various parts of the US etc.) so I'd
guess it's not unlikely that there are Dutch Low Saxon ones too but I've
never heard about any.<br>

Rumor has it that there are "dialect" speakers and also Frisian speakers among them.<br>
<br>The problem with Low Saxon in a mixed overseas community is that Low Saxon is more threatened on account of being perceived as minimally different from Dutch and as "dialect."<br><br>Regards,<br>Reinhard/Ron<br>
