[edit] Dutch Low Saxon
Since when is DLS considered a Dutch dialect in mainstream linguitics? Please show some (English) non-chauvinistic sources. Until then, DLS goes, as it is a minority of (Dutch) linguists who share this view, including Rex, though this should be dealt with in detail at the article. What you are (rightfully so) conceding is that a Low German family does exist. Please refrain fromr everting until sources are brought up front. Ulritz 21:49, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
- I refuse to communicate with you as long as you refuse to participate in wikipedia dispute resolution. You might have gotten away with refusing a mediation, I don't think you'll get away with ignoring an Arbcom case.Rex 22:07, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

- According to the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages, Limburgish and Dutch Low Saxon (as spoken in Drenthe, not Niedersachsen)are not Dutch dialects. Here is a Dutch Low Saxon source [1] free of any chauvinist bias. Ulritz 22:08, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] To the above
I will be removing both Limburgish and Low Saxon/German from this template unless actual sources are shown stating that the two languages are Dutch dialects -- as far as my knowledge is concerned, they are German dialects, with Limburgish having leanings towards Dutch.

[edit] Afrikaans
Isn't Afrikaans recognised as a separate language from Dutch, rather than just being a dialect? Likewise, surely the accepted English name for it is "Afrikaans" these days, not "African Dutch"? Dewrad (talk) 03:35, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Low Dietsch
This is part of a wider set of varieties already mentioned in this template. Continuing to include this, is a precedent. Sarcelles (talk) 16:50, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
- Being a part of a wider set does not preclude a subject from also being dealt with in particular. Nor would this be unprecedented. The same holds true for French Flemish. Ad43 (talk) 14:41, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
- French Flemish should be different enough, in the case of Low Dietsch I doubt that.
