Johannes Sass (also in German:Saß) born(1889-09-04)4 September 1889 in Hamburg, died(1971-12-31)31 December 1971) was alinguist who specialized in theLow German language. He obtained hisdoctorate in 1926 from theUniversity of Hamburg.

AlthoughLow German has no official written form, Sass's dictionary of the language holds a similar authoritative place for the language that theDuden dictionary does for theStandard High German language.

The diverse writing systems forLow German caused Sass to develop his spelling rules which he published in 1935. In 1956 this led to the Fehrs-Gilde, an organization promoting theLow German language, producing the 'Rules forLow German spelling', which mainly followed the example of theorthography laid down by Sass.

TheJohannes-Saß-Preis (Johannes Sass Prize) for scientific works aboutLow German is named after Sass.
