I think that also shows that this is quite relative. People who speak Mainfränkisch or Upper Saxon, will use German in more formal situations; in particular, the great majority will read and write German more and better than their regional language, even when they are using the second when talking with their family members or neighbours. This may well be the case in some of the cases you give too. Which does not mean we should not include those languages, but it does mean that it does not have the high priority that "a multi million language that we do not have" seems to entail. -- André Engels, andreeng...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
