<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:Papyrus;color:#244061">Just
 a little clarification for you, since you mentioned not being entirely 
certain what ‘lowland languages’ means.  Short and sweet – it means the 
Germanic languages that are not Scandinavian, not East Germanic (ie. 
Gothic, Burgundian, and such), and not ‘High’ German dialects.  So, 
English in its many varieties, your newly-found love Frisian, in all its
 varieties, Dutch, Flemish, Afrikaans, Low Saxon (on the list, it’s 
referred as Low Saxon, rather than as Low German, to emphasize that it 
is indeed a language separate from German, and also to distinguish it 
from the High German dialect spoken in Saxony, which could also be 
called Saxon), and all their varieties, plus others that differ enough 
to be thought of not as dialects of the above mentioned, but as 
languages in their own right, which the other members will gladly, I’m 
sure, acquaint you with.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:Papyrus;color:#244061"> </span></p><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:Papyrus;color:#244061">Steven Hanson  </span><br>
