Map of the Nederrhynsch dialect area
The map gives the Nederrhynsch dialect area at the beginning of
the 19th century. This area is nowadays split up in the Limburgish
dialect area (Belgium and the Netherlands) and the Ripuarian dialect
area (Germany).
The picture is an excerpt, scanned from H. Vandenhoven, La Langue Flamande,
son Passé et son Avenir, 1844, Bruxelles, C. Muquardt, with inserted
map "Carte du Territoire ou l'on parle la langue flamande ou bas-allemande",
"Kaart van 't gebied de Nederdütsche Sprake", Etablissement Géographique
de Bruxelles fondé par Ph. Vandermaelen.
