@onlmaps Are these “dialects” in the historical #LowGerman speech area meant to denote dialects of German or of Low German? I mean was the assimilation of Low German so advanced already in 1900 that no distinction can be made?
I think I see a slightly thicker line where I would expect a boundary between the two languages, but it is ridiculously thin: not meant to be noticed unless you look for it. And the name of the map…. #LinguisticAppropriation?
