>(2) Also blurbs about Limburgish and Frisian are already in the works,
>and I intend to write one about Lowlands Saxon (Low German).  We still
>need blurbs for the other varieties.  (Please take a look at our
>homepage to see which ones they are.  Yes, a (West) Flemish one would be
>great too.)  You do not have to write them in English or necessarily in
>a Lowlandic language, just as long as someone can translate them.

>(3) We are also asking for "sub-blurbs." These are to be brief
>free-style, essay-like introductions to specific dialects or dialect
>groups or on whatever your pet aspect may be.  They will be linked to
>from the respective main blurbs.

>(4) We need volunteer translators.  Mathieu, Roman and I are doing our

Ok for some translation into French

Thank you so much, Patricia!  Hopefully others will join you in the
French translation effort.  Privately I will send you what we have so
far.  There is no rush, just go as you can.

Stan Levinson was so kind as to volunteer as a Spanish and Portuguese
translator.  Big kudos!  However, I am sure he would appreciate some
help also, especially with Portuguese.

Kind regards!
Reinhard/Ron
