From: Roger P. G. Thijs <roger.thijs at village.uunet.be>
Subject: Limburgish

I was in Sint Truiden this Saturday and I found " 't bukske, nummerou vier"
with texts in the local dialect.
Sint Truiden was an free town around an abbey, that indirectly, via the
bishopric of Liège, belonged to the Westphalian circle of the German Empire
before the French revolution.

Sint Truiden is at the extreme South West of Belgian Limburg, close to the
Gete river, and close to the Brabantish dialect area. In the sample text
below, some of the Brabantish elements are:
- a Dutch-Brabantish vocabulary (one just has to transform the words a
little bit)
- loss of initial "h".
