	Limburgish language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Limburgish, or Limburgian or Limburgic (Dutch: Limburgs, German: Limburgisch, French: Limbourgeois) is a group of Franconian varieties, spoken in the Limburg and Rhineland regions, near the common Dutch/Belgian/German border.
		Limburgish is recognised as a regional language (Dutch: streektaal) in the Netherlands and as such it receives moderate protection under chapter 2 of the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages.
		Oost-Limburgs is the form of Limburgish spoken from an area from Belgian Voeren South of Sittard in the Netherlands to the German border.

	Language in the Netherlands
		Limburgish is spoken in the two provinces of Limburg (Netherlands and Belgium), and in a few border villages in a small neighbouring part of Germany (the Selfkant area).
		Generally speaking, the Limburgish language shares its ancestry with both Dutch and German, and it represents a transition between the Low Franconian dialects in the west (Netherlands) and the Central Franconian (German) dialects in the east.
		Limburgish is in many cases the everyday speech of municipal and provincial governments, and it is also used in social intercourse between the government and the people in an endeavor to bridge the gap between administration and citizenry.

		Limburgish is Low Franconian, as is Dutch, but is so much more distant (it has been influenced by the Rhinelandic dialects like the Cologne dialect: Kölsch Platt, and has had a very different development since the late Middle Ages) that it is less and less classified as being Dutch.
		Limburgish and Low German have been elevated by the Netherlands (and by Germany) to the legal status of streektaal (regional language) according to the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages, which causes some native speakers to consider them separate languages.
		Moreover, and especially in Belgium, the difference between the standard language and the language people speak (their local dialect or, more often, a version of the standard language heavily influenced by it) can be very important and cause difficulties.

	West Germanic:
		West Germanic is the largest branch of the Germanic family of languages, including such languages as German, English and Dutch.
		During the Middle Ages, the West Germanic languages were separated by the insular development of Middle English on one hand, and by the second Germanic sound shift on the continent on the other.
