Oh, by the way, nobody except YOU said that Larspeople and Gramsbergenpeople can't understand each other. YOU are the only one who said that.

So, are you saying that a man from Lars cannot understand a man from Gramsbergen??
Where are you getting this?! As I said before these men live 4km apart and speak the EXACT SAME LANGUAGE.

It's not two languages, one based on Dutch and one based on German; it's one language, just two different ways of spelling it.
As I said before these two villages are 4km apart, both men can understand each others' speech very clearly because it is IDENTICAL.
The only difference is the way they spell their languages, which can easily be converted.
No it is not read what the others said. A personn from one side of the area it is spoken in cannot understand someone from the other side.
