Wolfgang:
==============
Van Diemen's Land has simply gotten too expensive.

Walloons in jail? Zulus in jail? Van Diemen's Land? I sense a common
thread. Lowlandic languages!!!! The Walloons wouldn't speak Nederlands.
The Zulus balked at Afrikaans. But van Dieman got his`man Tasman to lay
a bit of Hollans on the natives south of Oz...

Cool. After all that, it's still in the dialect.
