	Wikipedia: Low Saxon language
		Low Saxon (in Low Saxon, Plattdüütsch, Nedderdüütsch or Neddersassisch) is any of a variety of Low German dialects spoken in northern Germany and the Netherlands.
		The distinction between Low Saxon, East Low German and Low Franconian (on one side) or High German (on the other side) is not precisely defined; there are several clines that vary smoothly from one dialect to another.
		Low Saxon was once much more widespread than today, being used as a lingua franca throughout the Baltic Sea region, under the influence of the Hanseatic League.

		Northern Low Saxon (in Low Saxon, Nordneddersassisch or Platt) is a Low Saxon dialect.
		Low Saxon used to be the language of the medieval Hanseatic (Hansa) Trading League that began in the mid-13th century as a protective alliance of several port cities along the shores of the North Sea and the Baltic Sea.
		Low Saxon works are still being published in Germany and in the Netherlands, particularly short stories and poetry, virtually never anything even vaguely "technical" and rarely anything "serious." However, there is quite a number of Low Saxon works of high literary value, including non-traditional prose and poetry.

	JH Prospectus: Frisian background
		East Friesland comprised the area stretching from the Ems to the Weser rivers along the North Sea coast, Middle Friesland included the modern Dutch provinces of Friesland and coastal Groningen up to the Ems, and West Friesland covered the northern section of the modern province of Noord-Holland.
		Most of it got caught in the pincer movement of its expanding neighbors, that of the Saxons who were moving up into their north and west, and the Franks who were pushing into the north and east.
		These modern West Frisian dialects, the East Frisian of Saterland, and the North Frisian of the Jutland peninsula and nearby islands are not mutually intelligible.

		The Saxons from northern Germany crossed the North Sea and English Channel to raid the Kentish coast.

		Note that the "low" West Germanic languages can be further split into "continental" and "North Sea" (or "insular") branches, the former being Low Saxon, Dutch, West Flemish, and Afrikaans, and the latter being English, Scots, West Frisian, East Frisian, and North Frisian.
		Of the "low" West Germanic languages, the closest to standard Hochdeutsch are Low Saxon and Dutch, but neither of these are inherently crossintelligible with it, even though they may superficially seem like such to someone who doesn't speak them.
		But anyways, Dutch is not an offshoot of German per se, and is closer to Low Saxon, West Flemish, and Afrikaans than it is to it.
