Venlo dialect (Dutch and Template:Lang-li) is the city dialect and a variant of Limburgish spoken in the Dutch city of Venlo alongside the Dutch language (with which it is not mutually intelligible). It belongs to South Guelderish Limburgish, which is a group of transitional dialects between Kleverlandish and East Limburgish spoken in the northern part of Netherlands Limburg. That group of dialects is also known by its Dutch name Mich-kwartier ("Mich area", based on the usage of mich /ˈmex/ instead of the Brabantian mij /ˈmɛj/ as the accusative form of ik 'I').

  • /ə/ is restricted to unstressed syllables.
  • /oː/ is near-close [o̝ː].
  • /ɛ/ is the only "short open E" sound in the dialect. The phonetically open [æ] does not have a phonemic status.
  • /ɒ, ɒː/ are phonetically open but phonologically open-mid, the back counterparts of /œ, œː/.
  • /aː/ is somewhat 'laxer' [ɐː] than in Standard Dutch. As in most other dialects, it is the phonological long counterpart of /ɑ/.

Pitch accent

Main article: Pitch-accent language § Franconian dialects

As many other Limburgish dialects, the Venlo dialect features a contrastive pitch accent, with minimal pairs such speule /ˈspøːlə/ 'to rinse' vs. speule /ˈspǿːlə/ 'to play' and bein /ˈbɛjn/ 'legs' vs. bein /ˈbɛ́jn/ 'leg', with the first word in each pair featuring Accent 1 (left unmarked) and the second word Accent 2 (transcribed as a high tone).
