West Low German (also known as West Low Saxon, especially in the Netherlands) is a group of Low German dialects spoken West of the German state Low Saxony and the North East of the Netherlands. Most Dutch Low Saxon dialects fall under West Low Saxon, though some dialects of Gronings look a lot like East Frisian and thus fall under Northern Low Saxon.
