Hello everybody,

I found an interesting website at the university of Essen.
It is essentially a multimedia overview over the German language.
(so not strictly a Lowlands subject), but it also includes a big
chapter about Ruhrdeutsch which is a "regionale Umgangssprache"
in the Ruhr valley. It's grammar and a sizable part of its lexicon is
based on the local Westphalian dialects of Low Saxon, so it might
be interesting for some of you and also an inspiration for people who
want to build up such informative websites themselves.

The next link is a historical overview over the Ruhr German in German.
Although,
I haven't read it completely and disagree with some of the seeming main
points,
it is still a very interesting text:
http://www.linse.uni-essen.de/linse/esel/arbeiten/ruhrgebietsdeutsch.html

A very interesting collection of recordings of lectures on linguistic
sociology:
http://www.linguistik-online.uni-kiel.de/soz.html
It contains several interesting chapters on Low Saxon.

And while I am at it, here are some more interesting links:
A modern "dialect" map of Germany.
