I think this claimed Turkish Yozgat-Lowlandic must be a hoax, as Ron
suggestd.
If there indeed should exist an old Low Germanic in Anatolia, even of
only
200 souls, it would be quite peculiar.
Without further information, however, I am quite sure, somebody is just
trying to pull (y)our leg, Ron.

Nice weekend

Haai Laaglanders en Leeglêers,

Yebo, en ekj hale oorsponkliijk from de descendants of un famiglia wua
diverse Sprachen were sprakjan.
If Adelwolf called himself Gunar or Ismet I might have believed it.
First names are the first to fall on the
wayside in order for foreigners to adapt to a new society in an adopted
country.

Wat 'n slim plan, Gustaaf!

Groete,
Elsie Zinsser
