  De gelijkenis van de verloren zoon
In 1874 the Algemeen Nederduitsch en Friesch dialecticon was published by Martinus Nijhoff, a book in two parts, compiled by Johan Winkler (Winkler, 1874). It contains 186 translations of the parable of the `prodigal son' (Luke 15:11-32 of the Bible) into dialects of the Netherlands, northern Belgium and western Germany. The recordings were not made by phoneticians, but by clergyman, schoolteachers, notaries, etc. The texts are given in different spellings: German, Dutch, official Frisian (Colmjon, 1863) and a Frisian spelling made by Winkler himself. In 1996 Harrie Scholtmeijer repeated the work of Winkler. He collected 81 translations of the parable of the 'prodigal son' of dialects in the Netherlands. 74 variants are the same as in the Winkler source. The recordings are made by teachers, employees, housewives, civil servants, farmers, etc. The texts are given in spellings of dialect dictionaries or in a spelling which is based on the Dutch spelling. These dialect texts can be accessed online from this website.
