Hello,

nice collection :-)

How about Plattdüütsch (Low German)?

47 "op Platt" would be "söbenunveertig"
(although there might be slight differences between the several North-German
regions...)

Information about Low German under:
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plattdeutsch
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low_German
and a dictionary:
http://stade-buxtehude.de/platt/

German)



quoting the website :

"On the other hand, Swiss German is, to my knowledge not regarded as
language - it's still a dialect. :/"

"Same with Alsatian - it's just a regional dialect, practically in the
same situation as Swiss German - no standard writing."
