Hey!
I am completely new to this whole Wikimedia by the way but I think that you are the right
person to send this email to.
I am a great fan of the whole Wikipedia project and this afternoon I noticed that besides
Dutch, my native language, there were also pages written in "Nedersaksisch."
This is not really a language at all but rather a combination of many Low Saxon dialects
which creates really weird texts with some parts in eg Gronings (a northern dialect) and
some parts in Achterhoeks (an eastern dialect). Sometimes the dialect literally changes
after each sentence. The use of "Nedersaksisch" as a language for all
northern/eastern Dutch dialects is thus highly cunfusing and pretty difficult to read.
Therefore I personally think that it would be so much better if this "language"
will be discarded from Wikipedia and that each dialect will be treated as a seperate
language because the differences between them are legitimately really large. These
dialects should be: Grönnegs, Drèents, Sallaans, Tweants and Achterhooks. Possibly some
small dialects like Stellignwarfs, Urkers, Oost-Veluws and West-Veluws can be added in the
future as well, though not many people speak it anymore.
Anyway, if there is any information that could be relevent to me or some future
developments, please write me a pm back. And is this actually the correct place to write
this?
