Limburgish

Limburgish is a group of Franconian varieties, spoken in the Limburg and Rhineland regions, near the common Dutch / Belgian / German border. In addition, Limburgish is recognised as a regional language in the Netherlands and as such it receives moderate protection under chapter 2 of the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages. Efforts have been initiated to have the language officially recognized in Belgium. People speaking Limburgish also use Dutch or German.
