Ooh, that could be interesting. Not sure if I could actually contribute, but I still am gonna lurk. :)

That's OK! I don't speak it or know too much about it, I just think it's cool! Lurkers are very welcome!

[stefanyeah]

Yay!
I love how it sounds. :)

Oh that's interesting!
I'm from a Niederrheinisch dialect region, but I speak only a minimum. My grandparents used to speak Platt, so I understand a lot.

Hehe, will join. I can't write it that good but I can speak and I'd love how to write it :D

That's what Mennonites speak, isn't it?

I think (I'm willing to be corrected here) that some Mennonites speak a variety of Low German (known as Plautdietsch)- they originated in the north-east of Germany. Other varieties of Low German are spoken in the north-west, and they have a lot in common with Dutch, and even a bit in common with English.
