<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 194517, member: 39&quot;]Hmm, Flemish is not actually a separate language but rather the Dutch spoken by (mostly) the Flemish population in Belgium. And yes, the &quot;Platt&quot; from Münster has quite a few things in common with Dutch. Until the 19c the differences between what &quot;ordinary&quot; people spoke in, say, Nijmegen and Kleve, or Maastricht and Aachen, were not that big, despite (Standard) Dutch and (Standard) German being two different languages. But then schools, and later the mass media, promoted the use of the &quot;official&quot; language ...</p><p><br /></p><p>I understand Standard German of course <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> , and that &quot;Platt&quot; to some extent, so I can read most of the texts on such notes. But - not being a notgeld expert - I cannot tell whether a series like this &quot;bloody&quot; one from Münster was actually used in circulation, or rather issued as fundraisers or souvenirs.</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
