@therealprocyon @opencage Yes, that is interesting as well. These languages are not used in formal settings, but are very much alive. If you are not familiar with for instance Gronings, listen to a song by Ede Staal, like ‘ t Hogelaand’ #Groningen #LowSaxon #EdeStaal

Toot in #LowSaxon, written down in the #NysassiskeSkryvwyse (new spelling for all Low Saxon dialects, see www.skryvwyse.eu): my #poem about my fatherland, the Achterhoek.

Wår bonnis de planken geavels klöört / witte wyven döär gröne kulissen glydet /
wår deerns når korenblommen göret / en lüde gaern(e) når buten kyket / dår kum ik gaern(e) weaderümme.

So, this is a #genealogy toot: my #familycrest from the Dutch family #Hunink. Our family comes from the Dutch Hansiatic city #Deventer, but our original farm stead Huninck is found near Lichtenvoorde in the #Achterhoek region in the Netherlands. Hence the horse head gables that were common on rooftops in this #LowSaxon speaking region. The use of horse head gables goes back to at least the #Saxons, of who we descent.

Hi all, I'm an ecologist from the #LowSaxon speaking part of the Netherlands (#Achterhoek), full supporter of the #RightsofNature movement and specialized in Dutch and European #SpeciesProtection and #NatureConservation laws. Toots about these subjects, articles, news and new insights.
