From: "Roger Thijs, Euro-Support, Inc." <roger.thijs at euro-support.be>
Subject: Resources

There is one more pocket on the market with a selection of some
vocabulary &
expressions in Belgian Dutch.

redactie Peter Bakema e.a.:
Vlaams-Nederlands Woordenboek, van "ambetanterik" tot "zwanzer",
2003, Antwerpen, Standaard Uitgeverij & Utrecht, Het Spectrum,
ISBN 90-712-662-9, 395 pp, pocket size.

One has to be carefull with this kind of books: some of the expressions
are
incidentally heard in Belgium, but not shared by all Belgian Dutch
speakers.
Since I'm originated from Belgian Limburg, I find terrible much stuff I
would never use by myself. I guess this is the problem with dictionaries
covering a large area of a regiolect or dialect, that is not
standardized.
The result is an artificial basket no one uses as a whole.

Regards,

Roger
