Hi Luc,

Not forgetting to mention that some churches in the Norfolk area, have a
typical Flemish architecture, which refers to the churches of Flemish
villages such as Oostkerke and Lissewege.

Dear Lowlanders,

Can anyone tell me whether the Frisian language of Heligoland (=Frisian
Halund, German Helgoland) has any English loanwords dating from the period
of the British occupation (1807-1890)? And are their many Danish loanwords
from their earlier rule of the islands? I know that the inhabitants use the
Low German word _kark_ for 'church', but are their many other lexical
testimonies to the Hanseatic traders?

Regards,

John

I have to mention also that a part of the Flemish nobility already spoke
French, and that a part of the French nobility still spoke southern Flemish.
F.i. the town of Boulogne in "France" spoke  "Diets" in those days. The
whole matter is very complicated.

Hello Luc,
Does the word "Diets" refer to Dutch as the word Duits refers to German?
