Leve Leeglanners,
Ick bruuk Juun Hülp mit 'n paar Wöörd' in'n westmönsterlanner Mundaard vun
Vreden up de düütsche Kant vun de düütsch-nedderlandsche Grenss.  Ick
glööv', düsse Mundaard is duun verwandt mit us Henry sien twentsche
Mundaard un is schients ook nich wied af vun us Reiner sien westföölsche
Mundaard.  Köönt Jie mie de Wöörd' un Uutdrücken maal verklaren?  In eckige
Klemmen ([ ]) schriev ick de Wöörd' mit 'n nedderlandsche Schrievwies' so
good as ick dat weet.
Besten Dank.
Reinhard/Ron

Dear Lowlanders,
I need your help with a few words in a West Munsterland dialect (of Low
Saxon/Low German) of Vreden on the German side of the German-Netherlands
border.  I believe this dialect is closely related to Henry's Twente
dialect and is apparently not very much removed from Reiner's Westphalian
dialect. Could you explain the words and expressions to me?  In square
brackets
([ ]) are my approximate renderings in a Dutch-based orthography.
Thanks a lot.
Reinhard/Ron
