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>
