We should arguably not have this language. It is the same as plain Low Saxon, but with a different written standard. -- Prince Kassad 14:27, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
- It's not quite the same. The languages on both sides of the border have each borrowed from their country's respective standard languages, both phonologically and in vocabulary. A (non-Low Saxon) Dutch speaker might understand the dialect of Groningen or Twente as they would their own language, to a significant degree. But that same speaker wouldn't really be able to understand the dialects spoken on the German side as easily. I know this from experience, too: I've watched videos of 'standard' Gronings being spoken and I can understand it decently, but I find videos of Niedersächsisch much harder to understand simply because they tend to sound much more 'German'. —CodeCat 14:37, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
- Note that Ethnologue recognizes several standardized dialects of Low Saxon as separate languages, like Gronings
