Senses
The term might have a second and maybe more sense: [ for example has "Das Westniederdeutsche (= Niedersächsisch) [line break] - Nordniedersächsisch [line break] - Westfälisch [line break] - Ostfälisch"] [ for example has "westniederdeutsch (west-, ostfälisch, niedersächsisch)"] 2 and 3 could be more senses regarding the ex- or inclusion of East Frisian.
 * 1) broad sense: Low German (strict sense), Low Saxon (broad sense), i.e. a certain language
 * 2) strict sense: a certain dialect or group of dialects, defined as to include Westphalian - so the term might be offensive as Nordrhein-Westfalen is not part of Niedersachsen
 * 1) stricter sense: a certain dialect or group of dialects, defined as not to include Westphalian
