Hello Peter,

I'm afraid you won't any information on Limburgish in the Taalunie
resources; The Dutch Taalunie is only interested in standard Dutch. They
will most likely even deny that there is a Limburgish language.

I'm also afraid that there are no English-Limburgish dictionaries (yet).
What exactly do you mean with historical references?

Regards,
Mathieu
