Von Reuben Epp [rep at silk.net]

Et es werklich soo, daut de meiste Plautdietschraedna "ekj si" saije.
Oba, mank de Oolt Kolonia (freeja ut Danzig un Omjaeajend) send
Vaele dee saije "Ekj senn." Bowenenn, send uk soone dee saije
"Si wi nu boold doa?" Ekj saij "Send wi nu boold doa?"

Vaele von onse Lied spraeakje "ekj" aus "etj." Besonda mank dee,
wua de Vaeaellre aewa hundat Joah en Russlaund toojebrocht habe.
Ekj oba nich!

Em Plautdietsche send vaele veschiedne Unjascheede en Sproakwies.
Dee mott wi dan eenfach met en Koop naehme.

Ekj meen, Plautdietsch haft nich vael jemeensom met Westfolsch buta,
daut se Raedenswiese (Dialekte) von de nadadietsche Sproak send.

Onse plautdietsche Lied en Amerika send mol meist  450 Joah trigj ut de
dree Frieslaenda (Dreier Friesland) jekome, un aewa 200 Joah trigj ut
Wastpreisselaund tweschen Danzig, Marienburg un Elbing. Wiel se aul
hundade Joahre en dise Welt sea vestreit, oba doch Gruppwies wohne,
habe se vael Utsproaksunjascheede oppjenohme oda toojelaigt.
