The Melkwezer dialect (Standard Dutch: Melkwezers,[1] pronounced [mɛlkˈʋeːzərs]) is a subdialect of Brabantian spoken in Melkwezer, a town in the Linter municipality.[2]
Phonology
The phonology of the Melkwezer dialect is similar to that of the Orsmaal-Gussenhoven dialect, but they are not identical. For instance, the /uɪ/ diphthong in the Orsmaal-Gussenhoven dialect corresponds to /ɔɪ/ in the Melkwezer dialect.[3]
