Well, that's not funny:P
Actually the dialect you speak is part of the officially recognised regional language called Low Saxon, which is called 'Nedersaksisch' in Dutch and 'Plattdeutsch' in German.
When my grandfather was appointed to work in Germany during the war, he could communicate with the local Germans which spoke Low Saxon East Frisian, also incorrectly called East Frisian or Ostfriesisch, which is identical to Gronings.
The Low Saxon language is, together with the Limburgish language (which is also spoken in Germany) part of dialect continuum between German and Dutch and both languages are dialects from German and Dutch, which are essentially the same language, but each on the other side of the dialect scale. Until people started standardising Dutch and German it was one language with a huge dialectal diversity.
This contrary to the English and Frisian languages, two other closely related West Germanic languages, they have been two different languages for more than thousand years. In fact the Frisian languages are split up in three different languages where Dutch and German are closer to each other than North and West Frisian.
