Reseña del libro "Alice ehr Eventüürn In't Wunnerland (en low german)"
Lewis Carroll is de Schrieversnaam vun Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, 'n Mathematik-Dozent in Christ Church, Oxford. Dodgson füng mit düt Vertelln an 'n 4. Braakmaand 1862 an, as he up'n Thems-Stroom 'n Paddelboottuur möök. Mit vun de Partie weern Paster Robinson Duckworth un dree Deerns: Alice Liddell (de teihn Jahr ole Dochter vun'n Dekaan vun Christ Church) un ẹhr Süstern Lorina (dörteihn Jahr old) un Edith (acht Jahr old). As wi vun't Riemel an'n Anfang vun't Book wies wardt, bẹden de dree Deerns Dodgson, dat he jüm wat vertell. So füng he an - toeerst nich so geern - de eerste Verschoon to vertelln. Up un daal in'n egentlichen Text findt sik mennig 'n Andüden an de fief Minschen, de an den Dag tosamen in't Boot seten. Up't Lest keem dat Book in't Jahr 1865 ünner de Lüd'. Düt is dat eerste Ọ̈verdrẹgen vun Alice's Adventures in Wonderland in't Plattdüütsche (Nedderdüütsche). Afstammen dẹ düsse Spraak vun't Oldsassische, vun dat ook to'n Deel dat Ingelsche (d.h. „Angelsassische") afkeem. Dat Middelsassische (in Düütschland tomehrst „Mittelniederdeutsch" nöömt) was de Verkehrsspraak vun de Hanse, un vun de Spraak keem vẹẹl Inwarken in de Spraken vun de Noord- un Oostseeküsten, besünners de vun Skandinavien, vun't Baltikum un vun Noordpooln. Hüdigendaags deit dat Plattdüütsche as 'n offitschelle Regionaalspraak in Noorddüütschland un in de nedderlandschen Oostprovinzen gellen. Vör't Verdrieven an't Enn vun'n Tweeden Weltkrieg wöör de Spraak ook in Rebeden to Oosten vun de hüdige düütsche Oostgrenz snackt. -- Lewis Carroll is a pen-name: Charles Lutwidge Dodgson was the author's real name and he was lecturer in Mathematics in Christ Church, Oxford. Dodgson began the story on 4 July 1862, when he took a journey in a rowing boat on the river Thames in Oxford together with the Reverend Robinson Duckworth, with Alice Liddell (ten years of age), the daughter of the Dean of Christ Church, and with her two sisters, Lorina (thirteen years of age), and Edith (eight years of age). As is clear from the poem at the beginning of the book, the three girls asked Dodgson for a story and reluctantly at first he began to tell the first version of the story to them. Many half-hidden references are made to the five of them throughout the text of the book itself, which was published finally in 1865. This edition presents the first translation of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland into Low Saxon (also known as Low German and by its German name Plattdeutsch). This language is a descendant of Old Saxon, one of the ancestors of English. Middle Saxon (also known as Mittelniederdeutsch "Middle Low German" in modern German parlance) served as the international lingua franca of the Hanseatic Trading League and as such influenced many language varieties along the Baltic and North Sea coasts, especially those of Scandinavia, the Baltic Countries and Northern Poland. Its numerous modern dialects constitute a regional language that at the end of the 20th century came to be officially recognized in the Eastern Netherlands and in Northern Germany.
