Dear Lowlanders,

A kind Brazilian wrote to me (with regards to my site
http://www.sassisch.net/rhahn/low-saxon/plattewelt.htm).  He informed me
that Lowlands Saxon ("Plattdeutsch" or "Niederdeutsch") is spoken in his
country as well, especially in Pomerode (http://www.pomerode.com.br/).  Here
is the most important part for us ("Culture"):

"The German language is used in a daily basis by people, and this has been
considered by the linguist Sílvio Edimundo Elia, who was in the city in
1989, as a typical bilingual case. The "Pomerano dialect" is still spoken in
rural areas, it is a variety of Plattdeutsch or Niederdeutsch. The erudite
German or Hochdeutsch is used in religious acts. However, the written
predominant language is Portuguese, limiting German and Pomerano as oral
language."

The situation is the same everywhere: German is described as "erudite" in
comparison with Lowlands Saxon ...

I would like to include this information in my guide of international
resources, but I need a more specific contact address.  Any help would be
appreciated.

Regards,
Reinhard/Ron

Caros Lowlanders,

Um brasileiro amável escreveu-me (no que diz respeito a minha página no
endereço http://www.sassisch.net/rhahn/low-saxon/plattewelt.htm).  Disse-me
que nossa língua baixo-saxã é falada em seu país também, particularmente em
Pomerode (http://www.pomerode.com.br/).  É abaixo a peça mais importante
para nós ("Cultura"):

"Fala-se ainda nas áreas rurais o dialeto pomerano, que é uma variedade do
Plattdeutsch ou Niederdeutsch. O alemão erudito ou Hochdeutsch é empregado
nos atos religiosos. No entanto, a língua escrita predominante é o
português, limitando-se o alemão e o pomerano à língua oral."

A situação é a mesma em toda parte: A língua alemã é descrito como "erudito"
em comparação com a língua baixo-saxã ...

Eu gostaria de incluir esta informação em minha guia do recursos
internacionais, mas eu necessito um endereço do contato mais específico.
Toda a ajuda seria apreciada.

Cumprimentos,
Reinhard/Ron
