</div>Yes, though sometimes to the amusement of the natives... Maybe these<br>
days and maybe in the SW where the numbers of native Spanish speakers<br>
is greater, a more New World variety of Spanish is taught/learned, but<br>
hace muchos años when I was in high school in central Illinois (the<br>
so-called midwest, but actually east of the Mississippi) we were<br>
actually taught a more Quixotic Spanish... and I think it may have<br>
been at least 35 years later when I took the opportunity of hitching a<br>
ride on a tour bus crossing over from Val d'Aran to Lourdes did I<br>
actually use (or hear) the 2nd person plural vosotros forms... (though<br>
I had used the S American vos forms, which we were most definitely NOT<br>
exposed to.)<br>

"Too often we honor swagger and bluster and wielders of force; too often we<br>
excuse those who are willing to build their own lives on the shattered<br>
dreams of others. ... [T]here is another kind of violence, slower but just<br>
as deadly destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the<br>
violence of institutions; indifference and inaction and slow decay." (Bobby<br>
Kennedy, 5 April 1968)<br><font size="2"><br>

</font><div>Dear LowLanders,<br>Uit een artikel in de LC (Leeuwarder Courant) van
7/7:</div>
<div><br>Een Friese boer uit Grou heeft vandaag voor het gerechtshof in
Leeuwarden gebruik gemaakt van een tolk Fries - Nederlands. Dit gebeurt volgens
de LC ongeveer iedere maand wel een keer. <br></div>
<div>pb: Het Fries heeft onder Deel III van het Europese Handvest voor
Minderheidstalen inderdaad het recht om bij de rechtbank (in Friesland) Fries te
spreken en in het Fries te worden aangesproken.</div>
<div>Het Nedersaksisch in Nederland valt nu nog onder Deel II maar heeft ook een
aanvraag gedaan om onder Deel III te vallen. Voorlopig in een light-versie maar
het is vervolgens een kleine stap tot 3-taligheid in onze rechtspraak
(Nederlands, Frysk en Stellingwarfs).<br>Mit een vrundelike groet uut
Stellingwarf / Fryslân,<br>Piet Bult</div><font size="2"><br>
