>>>>> Hi Henno! What a coincident, there had just been some commend about
Frisians not participating so much lately...
In Drenthe Low Saxon, as I said, speaking with a burr is called "breien",
and this uvular r [R] is considered to be a speech-defect. At least, when I
grew up there. My family -including me-
moved from Gelderland (Achterhoek) to Drenthe when I was seven years old.
I'm quite sure that before I myself had a uvular r too, coming from
Winterswijk, but in Drenthe I had to switch quickly to the tongue tip r [r],
to avoid being mocked on by the other children...

So the same seems to be the case in Friesland? I have heard some people from
Leeuwarden speaking with a burr though, but they spoke Stadsfries ('City
Frisian', a Dutch dialect in Frisian mouth), not the real Frisian
language...
