Leve Leeglanners,
Ick mutt weten, wat för 'n neddersassischen (nedderdüütschen) Dialekt in't
Rebeed vun Winterswiek (Winterswijk) in't oostliche Gellerland (Gelderland) in
de Nedderlannen, nich wied af vun de Grenss na Nordrhien-Westfalen in
Düütschland, bruukt wardt.  Ick bün mie moden, dat 't een vun de
achterhöökschen (Achterhoeks) Mundaarden is.  Is dat so?
Dank in't Vörruut, un fründliche Gröten.

Dear Lowlanders,
I need to know what kind of Low Saxon (Low German) dialect is used in the area
of Winterswijk in the eastern part of the Netherlands province Gelderland, not
far from the border with North-Rhine-Westphalia in Germany.  I suspect it is
one of the Achterhoeks dialects.  Is that so?
Thanks in anticipation, and friendly regards.
Reinhard/Ron
