Here are 2 samples from this CD. For me the language is Ripuarian (The area
is also just East of the Bernrath isogloss)
We are in a transition area, with more or less influence of standard German
additionally.
Mark the differences between these 2 tracks, both associated with the Kelmis
area.

Track 3, *De Modersprook* von und mit Peter Zimmer, 1:7 min
http://www.euro-support.be/temp/3zimmer.wma

Track 19, *Kelemes* von und mit Jakob Langohr, 2:54 min
http://www.euro-support.be/temp/19kel.wma

The Sankt Vith area is classified as Moselle-Franconian, except from the
North of this district, which is rather a transition area between Ripuarian
and Moselle-Franconian.
A special case is the isolated village *Recht*, adjacent to the Walloon area
(The village got some immigration from Tirol in the Prussian time)

Here follows a track from:
*Mir kallen und schwätze Platt*, Die erste CD in Eifeler Mundart
BRF2, double-CD, 15 euro at Logos,
text transcription booklet on DINA4 for 5 euro at Logos.

CD2 Track1 *Reet,* Gedicht: Bertha Vohsen, 2:19 min

Publications, incl. CD's, of the Eastern districts in Belgium can also been
found on the region shelves at the Mayersche in Aachen;
