That\u2019s why I introduce you to <em>Plattd\u00fc\u00fctsch<\/em> or <em>Plattdeutsch<\/em> (Low German) in this post. I neither come from a Low German speaking region of Germany nor do I speak Low German, but I am able to understand it when it isn\u2019t spoken too harsh.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">There are also some web pages in Low German, including Wikipedia sites. Below you can find a text in Low German, which I mainly copied from Wikipedia. Additionally, I translated the text into <em>Hochdeutsch<\/em> (High German) and English so that you can recognize the difference between Low and High German as well as understanding its content.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #003366\"><strong>Low German<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"color: #003366\">Plattd\u00fc\u00fctsch h\u00f6\u00f6rt to de westgermaanschen Spraken. Se hett den tweten germaanschen Luudwannel nich mitmaakt, un is dormit ene nedderd\u00fc\u00fctsche Spraak. De offizielle Sprakenkood na ISO 639-2 is nds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"color: #003366\">De j\u00fcngste gemeensame V\u00f6rl\u00f6per vun all plattd\u00fc\u00fctsche Dialekten is dat Westgermaansche. Verwandt is dat Plattd\u00fc\u00fctsche mit dat Engelsche. Sassen ut Noordd\u00fc\u00fctschland s\u00fcnd bi dat Johr 450 na England r\u00f6verseilt un hebbt tohoop mit Angeln, J\u00fcten un Fresen de Angelsassen gr\u00fcnnt. Plattd\u00fc\u00fctsch warrt v\u00f6r allen in \u2019n Noorden vun Middeleuropa snackt, in Noordd\u00fc\u00fctschland un de Nedderlannen. Aver ok buten Middeleuropa warrt Plattd\u00fc\u00fctsch snackt oder snackt worrn.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"color: #003366\">Plattd\u00fc\u00fctsch is jo een Spraak mit mennig Dialektens. Un de s\u00fcnd \u00fcnnerscheedlich as bi de Hunnen de Pekinese un de Bernhardiner. Wenn wi uns Spraak bekiekt, denn is dat so: Jeden Dialekt hett sien Recht op Existenz. Un jedeneen kann ok anner Dialekten verstahn. Een Hamborger versteiht ok Oostfreesch Platt, un annersr\u00fcm. Dat mookt uns Spraak ut, nich de Schriefwies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800000\"><strong>High German<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"color: #800000\">Plattdeutsch geh\u00f6rt zu den westgermanischen Sprachen. Sie hat den zweiten deutschen Lautwandel nicht mitgemacht, und ist damit eine niederdeutsche Sprache. Der offizielle Sprachencode nach ISO 639-2 ist nds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"color: #800000\">Verwandt ist das Plattdeutsch mit dem Englischen. Sachsen aus Norddeutschland sind bis zum Jahr 450 nach England \u00fcbergesiedelt und haben dort mit Angeln, J\u00fcten und Friesen die Angelsachsen gegr\u00fcndet. Plattdeutsch wird vor allem im Norden von Mitteleuropa gesprochen, in Norddeutschland und den Niederlanden. Aber auch au\u00dferhalb Mitteleuropas wird Plattdeutsch gesprochen oder wurde gesprochen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"color: #800000\">Plattdeutsch ist ja so eine Sprache mit zahlreichen Dialekten. Und die sind so unterschiedlich wie bei Hunden die Pekinesen und die Bernhardiner. Wenn wir unsere Sprache anschauen, dann ist das so: Jeder Dialekt hat sein Recht auf Existenz. Und jeder kann auch andere Dialekte verstehen. Ein Hamburger versteht auch ostfriesisches Platt, und andersherum. Das macht unsere Sprache aus, nicht die Schreibweise.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #003300\"><strong>English<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"color: #003300\">Low German belongs to the West Germanic languages. She did not participate in the second German sound shift, and is, because of that, a Low German language. The official language code, according to ISO 639-2, is nds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"color: #003300\">Low German is related to English. Saxons from the north of Germany had been settled to England until the year 450 and had established the Anglo-Saxons together with Angles, Jutes, and Frisians. Low German is first of all spoken in the north of Central Europe, in Northern Germany and in the Netherlands. But also outside of Central Europe, Low German is spoken or was spoken.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"color: #003300\">Low German is a language with many dialects. And these are so different as with dogs the Pekineses and the Saint Bernards. When we have a look to our language, then it is like that: Every dialect has its right of existence. And everybody can understand other dialects. A person from Hamburg does also understand East Frisian Low German, and the other way around. This makes our language out (discerns it), and not the spelling.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Here is a video from a German television program by the television network NDR (Norddeutscher Rundfunk \u2013 North German Broadcasting) where people exclusively talk Low German.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"New York Op Platt mit Pauline Hoefer\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SWUbbVAoNcI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some of you seem to be very interested in German dialects.
