Subject: LL-L Resources

Some books I recently discovered about dialects / regional languages in
Northern Belgium.

1 - Recently announced in the press, found today at the Antwerp Book Fair
(Boekenbeurs, Nov 1 - 11, Bouwcentrum) at the booth of De Vries-Brouwers:

- Eddy Van Hee, Woordenboek van de Antwerpse Taal, Deel 1, Nederlands -
Antwerps, 2005, Antwerpen & Rotterdam, C. de Vries-Brouwers, 208 pp, ISBN
90-5927-373-7, 14.90 Euro

One more of the many publications with idioms and expressions in
Antwerpish-Brabantish. Nothing new in concept. May eventually contain some
new expressions.

2 - Dialect of Genk (in the center of Belgian Limburg).

Some years ago it was announced in the press that Renaat Huygen was writing
a grammar of Genker dialect. A couple of weeks ago I checked at his bar (De
Slagmolen in Genk) last week. It was ready since quite some time, and I
bought it together with 2 other books in Genker dialect for a total of 32
Euro.

- Renaat Huygen, Spelling van het Genker, Genker schrijven en lezen, 2001,
no publisher, 87 pp in DIN A4 (The title is misleading, it is a complete
grammar)
- Genker bloemlezing, verhalen en gedichten in het Genker dialect, een
uitgave van Veldeke Genk, 2003, 103 pp in DIN A4. (an anthology of texts in
Genker)
- Theo Achten, E Zjraarke 'ne Zjef en 'ne Zjang out de Hoehve, 2005, 69 pp.
in DIN A4 (texts in Genker)

In my own Limburgish (Vliermaal) the names in the latter title would be:
  Dzjeraarke for Zjraarke (little Gerard)
  Dzjef for Zjef (Jozef)
  Dzjang for Zjang (Jan)

3 - Description of Northern Belgian dialects.

About a year ago I reported about 3 publications about Belgian dialects in
the series "Taal in stad en land" ("Frans-Vlaams", "Brussels",
"Belgisch-Limburgs"). Last Saturday I found 4 more in the Antwerp Fnac
bookshop("West-Vlaams", "Oost-Vlaams", "Vlaams Branbants en Antwerps",
"Stads-Antwerps"), 12.50 Euro each

These pocket size books are written by highly qualified people (most of them
are publishers of the regional diactionaries WLD, WBD and WLD at the
universities of Ghent, Leuven and Nijmegen. They give a description of the
dialect, a little grammar, a little vocabulary; a bibliography, ...
