1@LouisRhys is right. This is a linguistics question, not a history question. – T.E.D.♦ May 21 '13 at 15:14

1If Dutch is anything like English, no dialect is closer to the common root of the language. All of them have gone through various changes to get where they are today. – Joe May 21 '13 at 16:35
