wrong question. The issue being that "standard" Dutch is taught in schools
all over the Netherlands and Flemish Belgium. Meaning that "standard" Dutch
is widely understood everywhere, even in those regions where the the local
tongue is based on Lower Saxon, or Frisian, or Ripuarian.
Since "standard" Dutch is not taught in schools in South Africa there is no
such common vehicle between the Netherlands and South Africa

one more thing: OP is mistaken about calling "Dutch" Low-Franconian. It is
not. Dutch is an artificial language, that was constructed in de 17th
century by the translators of the Statenvertaling. It is a compomise, trying
to accomodate the different dialects that were spoken in different parts of
the Dutch Republic at that time, including Low Franconian, Lower Saxon, and
Frisian.

Please read the question AGAIN. I actually asked how the mutual
intelligibility between Afrikaans and standard Dutch compares to the
mutual intelligibility between two different non-standard European
Dutch dialects.

Same wrong question. The point is that people with different dialects will
NOT communicate in their respective dialects, but in "standard" Dutch
instead. What you and OP don't seem to understand is that "standard" Dutch
is understood by all natives of the Netherlands, regardless their native
dialect. It exists *next* to those local dialects, and people use both
"standard" Dutch as well as their native dialect.
It is like people from different tribal areas in South Africa I guess:
People who don't understand each others native language may communicate in
English instead

Depends from dialect to dialect.
Some Limburgian dialects and the West-Flemish dialect are at times
"further away" from standard Dutch than Afrikaans. The only difference
is that, due to a one and a half century old coercitive policy in
favour of standard Dutch in the schools, dialects have no own
spelling.

In reality I can talk with Fustigator in "standard" Dutch without any
problem, even though he has a little bit of a funny accent. And I don't
have any problem whatsoever with Limburgers either, and Frisians I can
get along with just fine. They all speak perfectly good "standard"
Dutch, even though their accents are slightly different.
Dialects are something of a folklore; purists like Fustigator claim they
can speak the local dialect just fine (which isn't true of course, but
he will never admit that). In fact, very few people can still speak
local dialects; perhaps some older folks who have lived their entire
live in the village they were born. But younger people, who move around
a lot speak only the "standard" Dutch; they don't have any connection
with the local dialect at all, simply because they are hardly ever
exposed to it

I think that you pointed here quite an interesting point.
Indeed the "infection" of dialects by the standard language is
widespread, definitely in Duch speaking areas. This is easily to ben
explained by the influence of education (no school teaches in dialect)
and de media (radio-TV) where very little is done in dialects.
Dialects have no written language either.

This means that for instance in Westflanders , the overwhelming
majority of people speaks indeed dialect, but strongly infected by
standard Dutch.

But this makes the understanding by dutch-speaking people from ouside
not necessarily easier, because of the big difference in
pronunciation.

WestFlemish has the Frisian-Saxonic pronunciation while standard Dutch
and most dialects from central en west Netherlands end central and
east Belgium have the Franconic pronunciation. Saxonic -Frissian
pronunciation is to be found in Belgium only in WestFlanders(and a
small area in the utmost north of France) , while in the Netherlands
you have it in the provinces of Zeeland, Groningen, Drenthe, the
eastern half of Overijsel, and the "Achterhoek" in Gelderland.

In Frisia , they manage to have another language with a written
version as well which is different of Dutch language.

I think equating West-Flemish and Zeelandisch with Low-Saxon dialects
is a bizarre simplification, if not to say an Ingweonic myth.

The next statement will probably be that Afrikaans is derived from
Zeeland and West-Flemish dialects, and not from Holland dialects.
Simply untrue.

The situation in western Netherlands is quite a bit more complicated than
that. The larger cities have their own accent, that probably derives from
the fact that there has been a large influx from elsewhere, now and in the
past. I once read somewhere that the Amsterdamese dialect of the 17th
century was more similar to 16th century Antwerps than 16th century
Amsterdamese, due to the large influx of refugees from Antwerp after 1585.
The coastal towns (Katwijk, Noordwijk and going north along the coast) have
some Frisian influence. My personal view is that the rural areas along the
Old Rhine river of South Holland has at least some Frisian influence as well
But once again, those differences in accent are fading because of schooling,
mass media, and increased mobility

An important issue, I think, is whether or not there exists a literature in
those local tongues, as is indeed the case for Frisian. It that is not the
case there really is no defined entity; there are as many versions of
"local" dialect as there are speakers

I agree with that. You see the same in the greater flemish cities such
as Ghent and antwerp where de dialect is different from the
surrounding rural places.

Do they pronounce the "ij" as a kind of "oa" (�) as they do in
Antwerp??

There is in Westflanders some literature. The poet Guido Gezelle used
a language which is dutch but very strongly influenced by
west-flemish.
We now have singers who sing in dialect and even "rappers".

There are many similitudes between Westflemish and Low saxonic
dialects. I noticed that in the pronunciation but as well in the use
of definite words which are used in those dialects and not in
standaard dutch.
I went very often als a west-Flandrian in Twente, where i discovered
my wife who lived in Hengelo. I went often enough in pubs etc where
the local dialect was spoken and could better follow the conversations
than my father in law who was originated from North Brabant.

That is indeed untrue, in spite of the fact that some words could ben
derived from the westflemish dialect.But my knowledge of afrikaans is
too basic to be able to discuss about that language. .

Some variation of that, but I should leave that one to the experts.
I was raised to pronounce the "ij" as "ai", but in school I was told
that that was very uncivilized.
The present day "civilized" pronunciation of the "ij" was apparently
introduced in the 17th century by refugees from the south (Hugenots)
Before that, the "ij" was a long "ii", as it still is in the lower Saxon
dialects

It is antwerpian.

Is not at all intriguing, if you knew the local situations.

Actually, I believe it shows the connection between the Dutch dialects
and the English; that particular pronunciation is almost identical to
the English "I"
And it is making a comeback, "poldernederlands", see
http://cf.hum.uva.nl/poldernederlands/ Although it appears to me that
the "poldernederlands" pronunciation of the "ij" is longer than what I
was used to.

This seems to me that it comes from the brabant dialect, since it is
pronounced like that in Belgium only in the provinces of Antwerp and
flemish brabant.

It tends towards the Brabantian pronunciation.

Here I pronounce thet in dialect as "ee"(english orthograph) and
in standard Dutch as a shorter french "eille" and never as the
english "I" or similar
