Low German and German Low German
[edit]First of all, there's no such a thing as "German low German" there's just one Low German, with west and east varieties. I've seen some people explaining that Low German is Low German spoken in Netherlands (even if it would be truth, why just don't call it Dutch Low Saxon, it has already a name) but then I notice that we classify Westphalian as German Low German (which is spoken both in Germany and Netherlands) so what's Low German and what's German Low German? It seems like none really knows, I've seen people adding Low Prussian entries (a dialect of colonial east German) as sometimes Low German and sometimes as German Low German. My proposal to fix this issue is to merge Low German with German Low German, and split it into "East Low German" or "Low Saxon" and into "West Low German". I'm not good at technical side of Wikitionary, but I think it's also possible to automatically label entries east or west when someone would for example would label entry as Low Prussian it automatically becomes East German so we don't need to write "East German, Low Prussian" Rakso43243 (talk) 13:32, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
