	How Are Accents Caused? \| Antimoon Forum
		Actually, the distance between German and Low Saxon is about the same as that between German and Dutch, and if one tries to include Low Saxon within German, then one will have to include Dutch within German as well.
		The relationship between the two is not linear, with German on one end and Dutch on the other, with Low Saxon in between, but rather is triangular, with each about equally distant from and equally close to the other two, and each pair of them sharing some characteristics not shared by the third.
		The Saxon dialect of German is spoken in what is now today named Saxony, which was in southern East Germany, whereas Low Saxon is spoken across northern Germany, including what is now named Lower Saxony, which is not the same thing as present-day Saxony, which is significantly to the southeast of it.
