Dear Ron/Lowlanders,

I have a fabulous linguistic opportunity. A Dutch friend has been on
sabbatical since the beginning of the present academic year and has loaned
me his collection of *stripboeken* (comic books like Asterix, Robbedoes,
etc.) --about 400-450 of them! For my weird mind this is extremely
stimulating material to use studying the Dutch language, since it has so
much colloquial usage.

Well, it turns out that Hans is from the Hague and included two of the *Haagse
Harry* series in the books he loaned me. His wife, raised in Amsterdam,
speaking German preschool, learning Dutch (main language), French and
English in school, just cannot read the *Haagse taal! *
**
My question is, is there anything on Lowlands-L to help me read the Hague
dialect? Or does anyone know another source on the internet?

Preliminarily I observe there is quite a quite a bit of diphthongization,
similar to English and Mennonite Low Saxon.

Con gracias anticipadas,

Jorge Potter
