| | [Wikipedia-l] The Borders of Language Variety Tolerance |
 | | Respecting to the Low Saxon dialects in the Northeast part of the country, *we* consider it a seperate language on for historical reasons, but our African linguist would draw a similar conclusion for Netherlands Low Saxon as for Zeelandic. |
 | | Interestingly, Ethnologue names a lot of Low Saxon dialects in the Netherlands as separate language: Veenkolonial, Twentish, Stellingwervish, Achterhoeks... |
 | | It is ridiculous, I think, to consider them all seperate languages. |
