A little website about the South-Franconian dialect of Gemmenich (part of
Plombières, administratively in the "French" speaking South of Belgium):
Jömelejer Platt
in 3 languages: French, Dutch and German:

I logged some interesting url's out of the frames of this site
(I hate being squeezed into frames)::

The dictionary is ready for being printed (if the financing can be settled):

Positioning of the dialect
(in the "ma_k_en" area, so eventually classified as Limburgish rather than
Ripuarisch)
Gemmenich is not on this map, but it is situated North of Eupen,
mid-way between the "town" of Limbourg (B) and Aachen in Germany.

PS. I referred to a theatre play in local dialect in my message yesterday.
"Wä es meester?", salle St Brice, Hombourg
Homerger Theater Groep, 21-2, 20 hrs.
I could get a ticket for next Friday evening.
(There were still some places available this very morning)
Reservations Mme Charlier (of the "Nous deux" shop in Hombourg)
tel. +32-87-786.053
Conversation with strangers is virtually always in French in this area.
(When in this area, and the wether is too bad for returning in the night, I
usually stay in the little hotel of the Aachen golf club in Sippenaeken, a
couple of miles to the North of Hombourg)
