CENTRAL LIMBURGISH LANGUAGE, PEOPLE, & CULTURE (Häörders dialect from Midden-Limburg)

Welcome to my channel! This is Andy from I love languages. Let's learn different languages/dialects together. Special Thanks Thomas Heuijerjans Hoi! Miene naom is Andy. Wie geit ut? Hello! My name is Andy. How are you? Let’s talk about the Limburgish language. Limburgish (also known as Limburgian, Limburgic, or Limburgan) refers to a group of South Low Franconian dialects spoken in Belgium and the Netherlands. These dialects are characterized by their distance from and limited influence by Standard Dutch. In the Dutch province of Limburg, all dialects, despite their differences, have been collectively granted the status of a regional language. Limburgish shares many vocabulary and grammatical features with both Dutch and German. Additionally, it has been influenced by French, particularly in its vocabulary. This influence stems from historical contact with the French-speaking regions of Belgium and France, as well as periods of French rule, such as during the Napoleonic era. Trade, cultural exchange, and political shifts contributed to the borrowing of French words, especially in administrative, culinary, and cultural contexts. A distinctive characteristic of many Limburgish dialects is the presence of a lexical pitch accent (also known as the Franconian tone accent), which it shares with the neighboring Central Franconian dialects of German. People & culture: The Limburgish people, or Limburgers, are the inhabitants of the Limburg region, divided between the Netherlands and Belgium. They have a strong regional identity shaped by history, traditions, and geography. Historically, Limburg has been influenced by Dutch, Belgian, German, and French cultures due to its location and changing rulers. This is reflected in its architecture, cuisine, and traditions. One of the most famous celebrations is Carnival (Vastelaovend), a vibrant festival with parades, music, and costumes. Limburg has traditionally been a predominantly Catholic region, and religion has played an important role in its culture, influencing local customs, holidays, and architecture, with many historic churches and monasteries. Limburgers typically speak Dutch but many also speak Limburgish, a regional language with Dutch, German, and French influences that varies by area. Despite the influence of Standard Dutch, Limburgish remains an important part of local identity. Limburgers are known for their hospitality, community spirit, and rich culinary traditions, including Limburgse vlaai (a fruit pie) and zoervleis (a sweet and sour meat stew). Once an important coal mining region, Limburg now has a diverse economy, with tourism, logistics, and high-tech industries playing a key role.
