Subject: Ll-L Resources

As (some) languages are dying out, they become subject of study in
historical magazines.

1 - Öper Platt.

Eupen has the most Southern Lowlandic dialect (Still at the "maken" side,
Limburgish) of the maken/machen isogloss).

In "Geschichtliches Eupen", XLIII, 2009, Eupener Geschichts- und
Museumverein, published this week, we find a classical kitschy heimatpoem:

2 - Bargoens, Bourgondisch, Breils, Koeterwaalsch, Roodwaalsch ... of the
Teuten.

The *Teuten* were traveling salesmen from the village of Lommel and the area
around. Lommel is now in the North-East of Belgian Limburg, but it was
North-Brabantish before it was exchanged for the enclaved territory of
Luycksgestel. The landscape (sandy soil with low fertility) is called *
Kempen* (Campina in Latin).
The Teuten spoke a kind of slang, but that language died out in the
beginning of the 19th century.

In the historical magazine of Belgian Limburg "Limburg - Het Oudec Land van
Loon", Jaargang 87 / 2009, Nr. 4, 4de kwartaal 2009, published this week,
Paul Van Hauwermeiren makes an analysis of the little resource material
available. A lttle vocabulary is listed p. 367-271.
