 Low Saxon (Low German)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Before Lowlands Saxon came to be well and truly overshadowed and suppressed by German, many of its speakers still referred to it as “Saxon” (sassysch, etc.) or “Low(lands) Saxon” (nedersassysch, etc.), some as late as in the 19th and early 20th century.
German thus became the language of prestige, and the indigenous Saxon language soon came to be relegated to the status of a working-class and peasant language.
Lowlands Saxon was officially recognized as a “regional language” in the Eastern Netherlands (1997) and in Northern Germany (1999) within the framework of the European Language Charter.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The Anglo-Saxon Church
In England the Saxons, after establishing themselves in the south and east, in the localities now represented by Sussex and Essex, founded a great kingdom in the West which gradually absorbed almost the whole country south of the Thames.
Still greater would be the error of using modern standards to judge of the monks of the Celtic Church, those rude but ascetic missionaries who established themselves in the lonely island of Lindisfarne, and who in their excursions under the leadership of St. Aidan gradually built up the Church of Northumbria.
The ancient Saxon tower of Earl's Barton church near Northampton may be appealed to as an illustration of the rest.

The latter is spoken in the lowlands of the north and the term Low Saxon is sometimes applied to it when viewed as a separate language (which is also spoken in some eastern regions of the Netherlands).
Low Saxon has recently been granted some official recognition in both the Netherlands and Germany, but its use as a written language is hampered by the lack of a widely accepted standard orthography and the existence of many dialects (which form an almost continuous spectrum between Standard Dutch and Standard German).
Standard German can be considered the creation of Martin Luther who naturally used his own dialect (he hailed from Thuringia) for his German translation of the Bible.

 The Gold Standard [Free Republic]
But the opposition to the gold standard in any form-from a growing number of welfare-state advocates-was prompted by a much subtler insight: the realization that the gold standard is incompatible with chronic deficit spending (the hallmark of the welfare state).
Under a gold standard, the amount of credit that an economy can support is determined by the economy's tangible assets, since every credit instrument is ultimately a claim on some tangible asset.
The abandonment of the gold standard made it possible for the welfare statists to use the banking system as a means to an unlimited expansion of credit.

 Celto-Saxon Israel
As the word Saxon is merely an English form of Sacae, it follows that in their name itself we have proof of the Israelitish identity of the Saxons.
Consequently, as the ancient writers declare that the Saxons of Europe were descended from the Sacae who came into Europe from Media, and as language study identifies the Sacae as the house of Isaac, we have a positive chain of evidence proving the Israelitish identity of the Saxons.
As the descent of the Saxons and Danes from these Israelites is certain, it follows that among the Saxons or the Danes there must have been some who were Benjamites.

My goal here is not to undermine the authority of experts on the English language (and I do believe that such experts exist and should be respected, when it's possible to figure out what they mean), but to draw attention to the fact that standardization of the language has been, at best, marginally successful.
