6 unusual facts about Low Saxon


Gronings dialect

East Frisian Low Saxon: Dat eenzige, dat wi neet doon is Slickeree utdelen.

Other linguists categorize all Gronings-East Frisian dialects as North Low Saxon.

Northern Low Saxon of Germany: Dat eenzige, dat wi nich doot, (dat) is Snabbelkraam uutdeeln.

Some linguists classify Gronings to North Low Saxon, to which also East Frisian belongs.
