I'm a son of Mexican Mennonites who has grown up in Canada without learning how to speak his mother tongue, and I'm wondering if there are any Low German-speaking Aspies here?

| My ancestors probably would have spoken some Low German dialect. Even in northern Germany, few people know Low German these days. |

Here's an example of what the language looks and sounds like. I must admit that I didn't know whether it actually had a written form until I discovered websites like this one. It's fitting that it's the Bible, since religion is a major part of our culture.
