  German: Low...
  
 "Low German is spoken in northern Germany, 
separated from  
 the southern, or High, German usage by an erratic linguistic 
 border, which crosses Germany from Aachen to Wittenberg. 
 Known as Plattdeutsch, it is descended from the dialects spoken 
 by the Old Saxon tribes of that region.   Although the standard 
 High German literary usage is employed in formal education, 
 Low German usage is widespread in conversation.
 The early Low German Scriptures are included in this entry, in- 
 asmuch as modern Low German is linguistically descended from 
 the language of these historic Bibles." --1000 Tongues, 1972
