Platt, Dutch, and Standard German are each from a different major branch of West Germanic, and have diverged by a sufficient amount, over a sufficiently long period, that calling the first two "dialects" (whether of German or of each other) is, by many reasonable standards for "dialect" vs. "language", unambiguously wrong :)

Or we have the opposite, two different languages which have converged, namely Scots and English :-)
