 | | Hahn says his poetry, both in Low Saxon and English, is a way of unleashing a part of his personality that is not expressed in his job, where he must be organized and keep others organized. | | | In North German cities, people who speak Low Saxon have an image that U.S. residents would associate with the characters in "The Dukes of Hazzard" or "The Beverly Hillbillies." In that sense, there's a parallel with what English-speakers might think of folks who speak Appalachian, Hahn suggests. | | | He also must be sensitive, tactful and reassuring to the many members of the public who contact his departments for one thing or another. |

| | A few words about Low Saxon (Low German) |
| | This label has been symbolically convenient in denying Low Saxon separate language status by creating the impression that it is a dialect group contained within German, aided by the fact that its speakers in Germany consider themselves ethnic Germans. | | | This has been another convenient excuse for denying public support to benefit the survival of the language. | | | Low Saxon used to be the language of the medieval Hanseatic (Hansa) Trading League that began in the mid-13th century as a protective alliance of several port cities along the shores of the North Sea and the Baltic Sea. |

| | DIALECT DESCRIPTIONS |
| | Until recently there still were, around Saterland and the Island of Wangerooge, people who spoke the old pre-Low German version of Ost Frisian. | | | This dialect is not specific to a geographical area, as are all other Low German dialects, but rather it is associated with a religion. | | | However, by the 18th century, High German had gained such force that the Low German began to be mixed with High German. |

| | Low German languages - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Low German was the lingua franca of the Hanseatic League. | | | Low German is also sometimes used to refer to any German dialect which differs from the official German language, but this is not linguistic use. | | | The other branches of West Germanic (besides Low German and High German) are Frisian and English. |

| | Low Saxon (Low German) |
| | However, this has come to be used for German dialects that are spoken in the German state of Saxony (Sachsen), originally a non-Saxon state that was given this name because of 15th- and 16th-century dynastic maneuvers. | | | However, its label “German” led to language policies that were an extension of German ones as they were before Lowlands Saxon came to be officially recognized in Germany. | | | Numerous Lowlands Saxon books and periodicals are published every year, and the number has been increasing in recent years. |

| | Plattysk - Plattdeutsch - Low German |
| | The manner in which a Low German speaker thinks and expresses himself/herself is well suited to promoting expressive clarity and syntactic simplicity in the use of High German. | | | This can be the case with the High German culture, which has embraced Nazism and a good deal else. | | | Therefore, it is the task of all schools of the state to maintain the Low German language, if only for the purpose of enabling our youth to read the works of the great Low German writers and to experience their world. |

| | ANS: a general orthography for the Low Saxon language |
| | This web site introduces the ANS orthography; which is also known as Algemeyne Nedersaksische Schryvwyse or Algemeyne Neddersassische Schryvwys'. | | | Much of this is due to the fact that for centuries it has been overshadowed and suppressed by Dutch and German respectively and that there has been practically no governmental support for it. | | | This site is meant to be a resource for anyone interested in the ANS at any level. |

| | The government is opposed to such regulations, and therefore Low Saxon is “caught in a vicious circle”, according to Bloemhoff, the spokesman of the Federation of Low Saxon Language Organizations (SONT). | | | Various applications for publications in Low Saxon at national cultural funds have been denied with the argument that Low Saxon is not recognized in Chapter III of the Charter. | | | Until now the Dutch government has refused to recognize Low Saxon in Chapter III of the Charter, because there are no legal arrangements for the use of Low Saxon in public administration or courts of justice. |

| | The numbers of people with Low Saxon proficiency is estimated to be 10 million in Germany. | | | Until recently, the official line was that the Low Saxon dialects of Germany were German ones and that the ones used in the Netherlands were Dutch dialects, and they had a low social status. | | | The numbers of people with Low Saxon proficiency is estimated to be between 1.5 and 2 million in the Netherlands. |

| | Language in the Netherlands |
| | Linguistically speaking, Low Saxon in the Netherlands is related to Low Saxon/Low German in Northern Germany which is recognized in most German states in accordance with the framework of Part III of the European Charter. | | | A survey conducted some years ago by the regional radio broadcasting station of Groningen showed that around 65 percent of the inhabitants in the province speak Low Saxon, namely the Groningen variety. | | | As far as elementary education is concerned, only the municipalities of Eastern and Western Stellingwerf consider the Stellingwerf variety in their planning, and this is being put into action in the curriculum. |

| | At low tide, the island is connected to land by a narrow causeway which Byrtnoth orders his toughest warriors, Wulfstan (Ceola's son), Ælfhere, and Maccus, to defend. | | | Note the repetitive patterns in the death speeches of Byrtnoth’s thanes, members of his war band who have sworn to defend him. | | | It has been suggested that the poem records a very early state of the conversion of the pagan Angles and Saxons from their Germanic religion which promised no afterlife except a kind of eternity of fame for the warrior who dies well in battle. |

| | The beauty of the blades came from the pattern-welding technique by which they had been made, which had "got well into its stride and has been widely adopted" [Tylecote 1962:274]. | | | The weapon-smiths would not have been totally out of work, however, as "the absorption of sword-smiths into Imperial workshops for the manufacture of auxiliaries' weapons is to be expected" [Piggot 1950:20]. | | | Because of the availability of better ores, late Saxon blades are often 'plain' [as opposed to pattern-welded; they were often inscribed or inlaid]. |

| | Most of it got caught in the pincer movement of its expanding neighbors, that of the Saxons who were moving up into their north and west, and the Franks who were pushing into the north and east. | | | West and Middle Friesland are solidly within modern state of the Netherlands, which now includes the "heartland" of the Frisians from the North Sea coast from Alkmaar in the modern province of Noord-Holland, along the coasts of the modern provinces of Friesland and Groningen, and up to the mouth of the Ems. | | | Where the Germanic limb of the Indo-European language tree splits into three branches, Frisian is a twig off the Ingvaeonic (also called the North Sea Germanic) branch. |

| | East Frisian Low Saxon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Although an eastern dialect of the Frisian is spoken by about 2000 People in the three villages of Ramsloh, Strücklingen and Scharrel in the Saterland region outside Eastern Friesland, East Frisian Low Saxon is unrelated to Frisian. | | | East Frisia and Groningen (NL) used to be inhabitated by Frisians, so the current Low Saxon dialects build on Frisian substrate, which has led to a large amount of own vocabulary, grammatical and phonological structures which differ from other Low Saxon variants. | | | A lot of people although not being active speakers of Low Saxon are able to understand it to some extent. |

| | A few years ago he rediscovered his "paternal language" Low Saxon and, employing his own "Lowlandic" orthography, has been using it in poetry and short fiction. | | | A formal separation between the two came about with the establishment of the Netherlands as an independent country and with the absorption of the eastern lowlands region into the German state. | | | Low Saxon used to serve as an international lingua franca during the days of the medieval Hansa Trading League. |

| | Frisian is a language spoken by approximately half a million people in the Dutch province of Friesland (Fryslan), in nearby areas of Germany, and on a few islands in the North Sea. | | | Further aid was sought, and in response "came men of Ald Seaxum of Anglum of Iotum" (Saxons, Angles, and Jutes). | | | The Chronicle documents the subsequent influx of "settlers" who eventually established seven kingdoms: Northumbria, Mercia, East Anglia, Kent, Essex, Sussex, and Wessex. |
