ArchivesRe: Low German
in reply to a message by LiMeGrEeN
I think it's the exact opposite: Low German was spoken in the north of Germany, and upper German (Oberdeutsch) in the south. It's a matter of elevation rather than looking at a map.
"High German" nowadays is something like BBC English in England. The "highest" German they say is spoken in the Hannover area.

Moin Andy,
Low German is still spoken in the north of Germany! Door kannst op af! ;-)
There are many different dialects of Low German to be found all over northern Germany, the Netherlands and southern Jutland (Denmark).
