In the east of the Netherlands we have an area called Salland, which
neighbours Twents, and in
parts of Salland and Twente salt is won, although Twente is nowhere near a
major river, let alone
the sea. Salland used to be adjacent to the Zuiderzee, which was closed off
from the North Sea
and is not salt anymore these days.

Beste Henry,

Salland is 'n Rebeed mit besünnere neddersassische Dialekten, ne?

Hett de Naam "Salland" wat mit "Sult" ~ "Solt" (salt) to doon, d.h.
"Sultland" ~ "Soltland"?  Wo heett dat mit neddersassischen Naam?

Gröötnissen,

Reinhard/Ron
