In connection with 'en/ne' I would like to add that in Brabant 'en' is used
as a negative particle together with another negative word. From the dialect
that I researched, the dialect of Melkwezer, a "Getelands" dialect in
East-Brabant, I may quote a couple of examples: as der ni en zwecht..'als je
niet zwijgt..', ich zeg oech da ich da ni en wil 'ik zeg je dat ik dat niet
wil' . The 'en' is used only sporadically today and then by older people. It
is my impression that  the word is only used before monosyllabic verbal
forms. In an article in Taal en Tongval (1950) J.L. Pauwels arrived at a
similar conclusion for the dialect of Aarschot

Regards,

Roger
