Thanks, Rheinhart, I appreciate your reply. No, I was not expecting such a
long response, but I am an avid language aficionado. Thanks,
Ben

I happen to know that detailed dialectical information of Limburgish and
Brabantish (both spoken in the Netherlands and Belgium) is now available
online. I believe that almost all information is digitally available, and
the
internet-database is growing.

The address is http://www.kun.nl/dialect . However, pages are available in
Dutch only. It is just an example of using current techniques. So far, the
databases for flora and fauna are available, and it is possible to search
for a
certain key word, but you can also type in the name of a city or village,
and
all the relevant information is shown.

regards,
Mathieu
