With these people running this nokieksel op 't patentplatt, it's no wonder it's... in patentplatt.
I'm sure they're also the ones deciding orthographic policy...
Also, the nds.wiki mainpage says it's in Plattdüütsch (ie, flat german)... and in parenthesis after it says "Plattdüütsch", it says "neddersassisch un oostnedderdüütsch" (Low Saxon and East Low German).
Hmm... according to the ISO, "nds" does not include East Low German. Only Low Saxon. Seems this Wikipedia is not in accordance...
