Dear Ron & Tomoki:

Subject: LL-L "Language varieties.

I've been lurking on this one & Ron, you know, I've written this before,
some of what I read in these dialects, & hear, will stir me to my heart.

Your passage in Westlouers did the trick. Now, the underlying message wasn't
it, & as similar as the Afrikaans appears to be (text below) that wasn't it
either. I can't explain it.

West (Westerlauwer) Frisia Language (frysk):

> Alle minsken wurde frij en gelyk yn weardigens en rjogten berne.  Hja
hawwe verstân en gewisse meikrigen en hearre har foar inoar oer yn geast fan
brurskip te hâlden en te dragen.

Afrikaans

Alle mense is vry en gelyk in waardigheid en regte gebore. Hulle is met
verstand en gewete begiftig en behoort 'n gees van broederskap tussen mekaar
te handhaaf.

Groete,
Mark
