Talk:Northern Low Saxon

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

According to Low Saxon language (and de:Niedersächsische Sprache, which it was based on), Hamburger is a Northern Low Saxon dialect. This page implies otherwise. Is it? -- Toby 18:27 Feb 4, 2003 (UTC)

Hamburger is a variant of Northern Low Saxon, like Holsteiner or Schleswiger. There only are marginal differents.

[edit] Requested move of "Northern Low Saxon language" to "Northern Low Saxon"

This variety's name is unique (have a look at the pages that link there), so according to the naming guideline, there is no need for the "language" suffix. Additionally, removing the "language" suffix has the advantage of being NPOV with regard to the question whether this is an independent language or not — and of putting an end to the ridiculous current situation of a lemma called XXX language being defined as a dialect in the first sentence of the article. ― j. 'mach' wust | ✑ 20:45, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
