Here it derieves from southern danish dialects , but north Germany was once 
Denmark. It changed when the nazi's occupied the parts and held them for so 
many years that large parts of the population felt more german than danish 
and so when the war ended a vote was cast, on which of the area should 
return to Denmark.
Sadly not all the districts choose to return to denmark.

I like to say moin because it's cute and it's short and it shows my love for 
the region even though i'm not from it .. it's also less boring than a 
simple hallo.

A'm a little disappointed too when I put a lot of work into a drawing , 
posts it and then no one comments it.
It's nice to know others liked it or at least viewed it.
And it encourages you to draw more.

Which one ?
