 | | Low German consists of (1) Frisian, spoken in the Netherlands, the North Sea coast of Germany, and the Frisian Islands; (2) Low Saxon (often called Low German or Plattdeutsch), spoken in the eastern Netherlands (where it is called Nedersaksisch) and northern Germany. |
 | | Low German, Plattdeutsch or Low Saxon, is spoken in the north, in a narrow fringe along the border between the Netherlands and Germany, and in the northern lowlands as far east and north-east as the River Elbe, including the cities of Münster, Kassel, Bremen, Hanover, Hamburg, and Magdeburg. |
