Right. I forgot that for example in Aachen they also speak
Platt, and back at my parents' they also spoke Platt in the
past -- though both are actually not Low German dialects
strictly speaking, at least as far as I know. However, it
struck me as odd to say that a man from Liechtenstein spoke
Platt, because, as you said, Plattdeutsch is usually
associated with Low German.
