[edit] West Low German
I changed the interwikis on West Low German, they directed to Low German instead of West Low German (which is something else), these interwikis are already listed on the article Low German so there is no need to list them here as well. Servien 13:04, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
- I link West Low Saxon to Westneddersassisch.

[edit] Mecklenburgisch-Pommersch?
Hi Sarcelles. I know the German version of Wikipedia has an article about Mecklenburgisch-Pommersch however, there is no Mecklenburgisch-Pommersch. I also wrote to other contributors of this article because this definition is far to generell. You can't mix up "Westfälisch" and "Ostfälisch", can you? The dialect which is described in this article is called Mecklenburgisch-Vorpommersch. The other Pommeranian dialects really have few in common with this dialect. I also realized that you are working on the Low German version of Wikipedia. Why don't we take the article "Mekelnborg-Vörpommersch Platt" [1] as a basis for the English version? It's far better than the German one. Furthermore it must be said that "Wendländisch" doesn't actually belong to "Mecklenburgisch-Vorpommersch". You can read the discussion about that topic at [2]. You would also get an idea, why the Pommeranian dialects don't belong to "Vorpommersch". --89.53.5.194 11:42, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
- You are right, Wendländisch is something different.
I will change this. Sarcelles 19:22, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
Thanks. However, why should we call it Mecklenburgisch-Pommersch? I can't remember any book that uses this term. Most linguistic works dealing with Low German dialects prefer Mecklenburgisch-Vorpommersch. Have a look at www.diwa.info. The word maps of "Korn", "Ohren", and "Pferd" demonstrate the difference between Mecklenburgisch-Vorpommersch and the neighbouring dialects. The Pommerian dialects use Korn, Ohren, and Perd (Peird) while the speakers of Mecklenburgisch-Vorpommersch say Kurn, Urn and Pierd. There are other differences, too but these examples demonstrate one trait that only this dialect has in comparision to all the other Low German dialects. --89.53.40.163 11:59, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
