Subject: Language varieties

I have a copy of "Righting English that has gone Dutch" (by Joy Burrough-
Boenisch) which deals about general mistakes Dutch speakers of "Dunglish" 
or "clogged English" often make, but also native English speakers who have 
lived in the Netherlands (and Belgium?)for a long time. 
I can imagine that a lot of this Dunglish could be heard in South Africa 
too, especially from Afrikaanders...
And maybe from Low Germans as well (I mean Low Saxons, Frisians and Low 
Franconians from Germany)?
In fact that would be an interesting question: do the Low Germans learn 
the related foreign language English out of their mother tongue, or 
through High German. And is there any Low German influence on their 
English, rather than High German? And is this similar to the Dutch 
influence on English?
 
Regards 
Ingmar
