Sevenum (pronunciation ) is a Dutch municipality and a town in the province Limburg in the southeastern Netherlands.
[edit] Location
Sevenum's neighbour towns are (clockwise, starting from East): Venlo, Maasbree, Helden-Panningen, Deurne, Horst.
The municipality Sevenum includes these towns:
- Sevenum
- Kronenberg
- Evertsoord
Sevenum-town and Kronenberg are tangented by highway E34, provincial road N277 (Middenpeelweg), and the railroad track Eindhoven-Venlo; Evertsoord lies on the edge of the Peel, a former peatland.
[edit] Dialect
Sevenum's dialect, "Zaerems", is transitional between Limburgish, North-Limburgish (see Low Rhenish), and Brabantian. In the diagram, Sevenum is situated near the bottom-left corner of the blue area, which is the intersection of the horizontal "ich/ik" isogloss (the Uerdingen line) with the vertical "kalt/koud" isogloss.
The list of Limburgish town names at Streektaal.net [1] has "Zaerem" (Sevenum) and "De Kroeënenberg" (Kronenberg), but it doesn't include "De Pieël" (Evertsoord), considering it to be in the North-Limburgish area.
