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."

lished.   Three other Bibles were printed, based primarily on this first
Quentell edition; another printing by Quentell, c. 1480; 1494, S.
