Amazing! I didn't know that there are articles from Wikipedia in dialects!
For instance, you can read about football in Scots and in Plattdüütsch (Northern German dialect, my granny could speak it) |

| Not that I noticed, but there's a long list to the left of the screen. That's where "Plattdüütsch" caught my eye... |

Let me know if I got this right: Foar it doel stiet de doelman, dy't om de bal bûten te hâlden wol de hannen brûke mei. = In front of the goal is the goalkeeper, who is allowed to use his hands to keep the ball out of the goal.
It's funny how I understand some words and others are complete gibberish (to me, that is!)
This is Danish, unfortunately my dialekt (sønderjysk) is not represented. |

Then again, if you're used to doing that, it's probably difficult to do it forwards. |
