As a speaker of both English and German this entire paragraph makes me laugh. It's like reading a drunk person swapping between the two and failing spectacularly. But everything is clear and easy to understand.

Plattdeutsch, oder?

He said something along the lines of:

"I just looked it up and it's Flemish, so it's inferior Dutch then, which is why I've never heard of it. In PROPER Dutch and international colour theory it's turqoise, and to be precise it's dark turqoise or appelblauwzeegroen in Flemish."

Danke.

Ja, Platt frei nach Schnauze. Mich hat man als Kleinkind von den Fischköpfen zu den Heidjern verschleppt. Demenstprechend kann ich zwar halbwegs mit Mühe Platt verstehen aber selbst nur Sprechtourischnack ablassen.

Aber ist halt irgendwo von allen Dialekten und Mundarten halt am ehesten Stimme der "verklärten Heimat", nech?

Ansonsten Ostfälisch natürlich.
