Beste allemaal
Ik meen me te herinneren dat het Saksisch enige jaren geleden als derde taal
in Nederland officiele status heeft gekregen; kranteberichten etc. Het zou
minder formeel geaccepteerd zijn als het Fries; je kunt niet verlangen dat
het in de rechtszaal wordt gebruikt. Weet iemand hoe het precies zit?

Ik heff de soelvigen indruck, ik kenn wul no genugh in
min doerp bi Rendsborg de no to Hus met eer oellern
platt snack aver all mang de kinner soelvens snack se
doch meist hochduetsch, in Nederland is dat doch no
een beten anners, daar dreep man doch no genug jonge
luet de perfekt Friisk, Nedersaksisch or Limburgsch
snakken, se suend sik wul ok een beten stolter op eer
spraak. Jues in de nordduetschen stede is
nedersaksisch doch meist heelsch vergeten, mi is dat
ni blot eenmol passeert dat junge luet op Engelsch
antern wenn ik ut spaas eer op plat anspreek, de weet
garni meer dat man voer hunnert wul kuum wat anners
hoeren daeich in de nordduetschen stede as
nedersassisch, ik gloef dat schull een in Groningen ni
passeeren.

Hallo Gabrielle,

I love to hear the Scots as well. Perhaps though, this is one of those,
"beauty is in the eyes of the beholder" things. I must confess that I
especially enjoy hearing the women speak Dutch.
