Dutch as writing language in the Schelde-Maas-Rhein area before 1950
an anthology
We took 1950 as cut-off date for these pages, since in 1950
Dutch started becoming a more "natural" spoken language in Belgian
Limburg (Speaking "opte letter" - "as one writes" or Dutch -
started, slowly, to replace "plat" - Limburgish - in current conversation).
