You want to know why Brazilian Spanish is included, but Nedersaksisch or Frysk aren't?

I wouldn't know for sure, but the last two mentioned are (sort of) dialects. Very few people really understand them. It's not worth to include them in Messenger Plus! I think, because not many people will use them.

From what I've heard, Brazilian Spanish is spoken very much, so that could be a reason.

Indeed it has something to do with dialects.

Ik wil alleen ff zeggen dat er ongeveer 1 miljoen friezen zijn, waarvan de meesten ook Frysk kunnen lezen/schrijven (dat leren we op de basisschool). Het Frysk is ook géén dialect!

Misschien wil ik wel aan een vertaling beginnen naar het Frysk...
-----------------------
I just want to say that there are approx. 1 million Frisians, and most of them can allso read/write Frisian (we learn it at school). And Frisian is NO dialect (not even a bit)!

Maybe i'm going to start translating to Frisian ...

Frisian will most likely not be included, because all of its speakers can also speak Dutch. There is no good reason to include a 'duplicate' language if all of its speakers can use another one already. This would be nice, I agree, but at this point, it might be better not to include those language files to keep the download size as small as possible.
