Low German
Low German, spoken from the costs of Flanders to East Prussia and from Dunkirk via Brussels, Cologne, Kassel, Magdeburg, Berlin Frankfurt/Oder up to Gdansk and in the whole of East Prussia in various dialects, arose from a 8th century Germanic language. After the Hanseatic time (15th/16th century) the development of this language was different in each region.
It is closely related to the Flanderic, Dutch, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian and English languages.
Finkwarder Danzkring which is using the native "Finkwarder Platt" is also standing in the linguistic tradition of Low German.
