Abstract
This thesis research aims at understanding more about the Low Saxon language in the Netherlands, specifically about the language attitudes of native speakers. These language attitudes have been researched by hosting a survey based on previous research in Fryslân. A total of 158 respondents has been reached and all the data they provided has been analyzed in this paper. The different survey questions are analyzed separately and later statistically analyzed. Two correlation analyses have been performed, and two linear regression models have been developed. However, these analyses showed that the data was not statistically significant and thus did not provide a concrete answer to the research question “What are the language attitudes of native Low Saxon speakers in the Netherlands, and how are they shaped by factors such as regional identity, family background, and level of education?”. Therefore, further research is needed to be able to fully understand Low Saxon language attitudes, but this paper serves as a starting point for more research in the Low Saxon language and its native speakers’ language attitudes. Keywords: Low Saxon, language attitudes, quantitative research, survey, SPSS, Nedersaksisch
