Subject: <span class="gI">LL-L "Language varieties" 2012.08.22 (01) [EN-NDS]<br><br></span>Well, for a native Westphalian like me, there is no doubt: The
Achterhook version sounds almost like home to me, although I have my
roots in the opposite corner of the Westphalian region (the Sauerland in
Germany. It did confuse me quite a lot, though, when I listened to it
for the first time. Some passages really sound as if one of the elder
Sauerland farmers told the story (pardon me Ingmar), some passages
reveal the dutch influence much more.<div>The Drenthe variety is hard
for me to understand - I can manage it when reading the text at the same
time. But probably a native speaker of Ostfriesland Low Saxon would not
find it that hard to understand.</div><div><br></div><div>Greetings</div><div><br></div><div>Wolfram<br><br>----------<br><br>From: Ingmar Roerdinkholder <<a href="mailto:roerd096@PLANET.NL">roerd096@PLANET.NL</a>><br>
