Overleg:Oost-Nederduits

I can read dutch, but unfortunately I don't speak it. So please excuse that I write in English. I think there's a big mistake about this article. Oostnederduits is according to the name the eastern dialect of nederduits = platduitse = Nedersaksisch = Platt (in German language). Platt is spoken from eastern Netherlands to western Poland. Bielefeld is definitely not in the east of this area. Old people from the area around Bielefeld speak the same dialect as old people from eastern Netherlands.

The article mentions Bielefeld as a place where Plautdietsch is spoken. Plautdietsch is an eastern dialect spoken by Mennonites, who emigrated to Russia in the 18th century and part of whom migrated back to Germany in the 20th century (bei uns als Deutschrussen bzw. Russlanddeutsche bekannt). --::Slomox:: >< 25 mrt 2008 21:02 (CET)
