Jahr schullen de sik beter wahrn ...

Aha! Now those scoundrels of Plattnet.de have confessed that their news of
Low Saxon (Low German) being made the first language of Schleswig-Holstein
was a mere April Fool's prank!  They'd better watch their backs next year
...

Dumm Tüüg an'n 1. April bi de PLATTNET-Narichten


Wi weet, Peter Harry Carstensen (CDU) un Claus Möller (SPD) sünd al
mennigmal to'n plattdüütschen Klönsnack tohopen kamen. Dor güng dat meist
bannig kommodig to. Man nu hebbt se dat swore Geschäft vör sik, ehre
Parteien to en Koalitionsverdrag to bringen, dormit dat en niege Regeern in
Sleswig-Holsteen gifft. Wat dorbi ok wat Godes för't Plattdüütsche rutkümmt,
dat weet wi nich - schön weer't.
Plattdüütsch as eerste Amtsspraak in't Land inföhrn? Dat weer dumm Tüüch,
wat sik PLATTNET hett infallen laten. Weer Spijöök to'n 1. April.
Velen Dank för de velen Mails, de wi dorto kregen hebbt.
