Subject: Literature

Franz, folks,

Mathieu hat mir privat mitgeteilt, dass das "g" im Limburgischen "weich"
ausgesprochen wird, etwa wie in deutsch "ich".

Mathieu notified me privately that the Limburgish pronunciation of "g" is
"soft," about like in German _ich_.

Mathieu also gave me some spelling pointers for my Limburgish
transliteration of the Mühlheim Martinmas song.  Below is my revision on
that basis.

I wonder if I should use "ae" instead of "è" ...

Enjoy!
Reinhard/Ron

   SINTER MÈTES VEUGELSJE

   Sinter Mètes veugelsje
   heet soe'n roat kapeugelsje.
   Geflogen, gestoven
   wiet, wiet euver dè Rien,
   wò die vetten verkes sien.
   Goed vrau, geef oes wat!
   Aal die hunnerkes legen wat!

   Boven in die vèsje
   hangen die langen weuste.
   Geeft oes die langen!
   Laot die kotten hangen!
   Laot oes ne soe lang hie sjtaon!
   Wei meuten en huuske widder gaon,
   hie van dèn nò Èse,
   hòlen en vetten blèèssen;
   hie väör, dò väör,
   väör die rieke koupmansduer.

      Hier wohnt ein reicher Mann,
      der uns was geben kann,
      viel soll er geben, lang soll er leben,
      selig soll er sterben,
      das Himmelreich erwerben!

   Die maad, die leup die trappen erop,
   pak waal in dè neutesak,
   pak waal ne derneven.
   Se wèd oes waal wat geven.
   Gif wat, haul wat,
   tegen't jaor wir wat.

   Sinter Mètes sjtoepsjtat.
   Sjmiet en appel duar dat gat!
   Sjmiet en ne soe wiet,
   sus vèlt he in en driet.
   Sjmiet en ne soe hat,
   sus vèlt he in et gat!

   Moes, moes, koem eroet!
   Gif oes èppel oen neute!
   Èppel oen neute siend soe goed
   vüär dèn aulen patsvoot!
