South Guelderish (Dutch: Zuid-Gelders [ˌzœytˈxɛldərs], German: Südgeldersch, Kleverländisch) refers to the easternmost group of Dutch dialects spoken along the lower Rhine (Dutch Nederrijn and German Niederrhein). In its narrower sense, the term refers strictly to the Rivierenlands (nl), Nijmeegs, and Liemers sub-dialects; in its broader sense, the term encompasses also North Limburgish in the Netherlands and Kleverlander (around Cleves; Dutch Kleverlands, German Kleverländisch) in Germany. South Guelderish (in the narrow sense) — especially Rivierenlands — is sometimes included as part of Brabantic, a more widely spoken Dutch dialect and the closest relative of South Guelderish. Alternatively, it is considered to extend southward into Northern Limburg until the Uerdingen line. It is arguably more appropriate to group South Guelderish (narrow sense), North Limburgish and, Kleverlander into one dialect group—East Dutch.

In the Netherlands, South Guelderish is spoken in the following regions: North Limburg, the Veluwezoom National Park, Rijk van Nijmegen, Land van Maas en Waal, the Bommelerwaard, the Tielerwaard [nl], the Betuwe, Land van Cuijk and Liemers.

Status

The political status of Low Franconian (or East Dutch) dialects, including South Guelderish, has long differed greatly between the Netherlands and Germany. In the Netherlands, East Dutch has long been subject to the influence of Standard Dutch. Since it is a Dutch dialect, it is already similar enough to the standard language to have not been greatly influenced. In Germany, however, since 1713, when Prussia took control of the area, dialects such as Kleverlander have been in retreat under the pressure of Standard German, to which they were previously only distantly related. This influence has been strongest in the vocabulary used, in areas where Low Franconian was previously spoken.

Furthermore, large-scale industrialization in the Cleves–Duisburg area in Germany, as well as the resulting immigration, during the late 19th century and the 20th century, has greatly reduced its use today, leaving very few native speakers. For example, in Duisburg (though traditionally within the South Guelderish area), it has virtually died out. (See Duisburg Platt Dialect).

As noted before, South Guelderish is sometimes included within Brabantic. That is because there exists no tight isogloss bundle between the Brabantic and South Guelderish dialects. Instead, change occurs in two individual steps: the alt-oud isogloss, between Groesbeek and Nijmegen, and the ies-ijs and the huis-huus isoglosses west of Nijmegen.

In diaspora

[it] Dialetto gheldrico meridionale

Il gheldrico meridionale (in olandese Zuid-Gelders) è un gruppo di dialetti della lingua olandese parlati nella provincia della Gheldria nei Paesi Bassi e attorno alla città di Kleve in Germania. Vengono talvolta inclusi tra i dialetti brabantini, un altro gruppo di dialetti, più vasto, al quale il gheldrico meridionale è imparentato. Lo status di dialetto differisce notevolmente dai Paesi Bassi alla Germania. Nei primi, essendo questo dialetto strettamente imparentato con la lingua nazionale, è stato solo relativamente influenzato. In Germania, invece, a cominciare dal 1713, quando la Prussia prese il controllo dell'area, il dialetto è soggetto a influenza da parte del tedesco, col quale però è solo lontanamente imparentato, ma che sta lasciando molti segni distintivi, in particolar modo nel vocabolario. Inoltre, la zona di Duisburg-Kleve, altamente industrializzata, ha attratto immigrati da altre parti della Germania e dall'estero durante il XIX e XX secolo provocando un notevole declino del dialetto stesso lasciando il posto al tedesco standard. Nella zona di Duisburg, ad esempio, il dialetto è completamente scomparso.

[ru] Северонижнефранкский диалект

Северонижнефра́нкский диалект (нем. Nordniederfränkisch), более известный как клеверла́ндский (нем. Kleverländisch) в немецких источниках, южноге́льдернский и североли́мбургский (нидерл. Zuid-Gelders, Noord-Limburgs) — в нидерландских, относится к нижнефранкской группе нижненемецких диалектов. Распространён на северо-западе Германии в земле Северный Рейн-Вестфалия и частично в приграничных районах Нидерландов. Диалект во многом совпадает и с брабантским диалектом и частично переходит в восточнобергский на юго-востоке.
