Low German (and ostensibly Low Dutch) comprise a dialect continuum in Northern Germany and the Netherlands that span the 2 countries. The dialects are for the most part mutually intelligible, especially to those who speak Dutch and High German.
Low German / Dutch is mainly spoken, not written, but does have its own literature, and there are radio shows and occasional tv shows that broadcast in it.
