Dutch-Low Saxon appears to be some kind of dialect as well.
Hoi,
The problem with Low Saxon is that some people have high jacked the Low
Saxon Wikipedia by insisting on a German dominated orthography. Because
of the incompatibility that this creates with the Dutch Low Saxon, there
is this need for a separate wikipedia. To make matters even more weird,
one of the persons insisting on this Sass orthography is not even a
Lower Saxon speaker but is one who does contribute to the nds.wikipedia
for a hobby.
Then again, I am not interested in the
nds.wiktionary.org really. But
denying the nds-nl wikipedia because of this is not just.
Thanks,
