  • Brabantian or Brabantish, also Brabantic, is a dialect group of the Dutch language. It is named after the historical Duchy of Brabant which corresponded mainly to the Dutch province of North Brabant, the Belgian provinces of Antwerp and Flemish Brabant, as well as the institutional Region of Brussels-Capital and the province of Walloon Brabant. Brabantian expands into small parts in the west of Limburg while its strong influence on the Flemish dialects in East-Flanders weakens towards the west. In the northwest of North Brabant, Hollandic is spoken. Conventionally, the South Guelderish dialects are distinguished from Brabantian, though there are no objective criteria apart from geography to do this. Because of the relatively large area in which Brabantian is spoken, it can be roughly divided in three sub-dialects: ⁕West Brabantian, spoken in the area west of the river Donge; in the west of North Brabant and in the north and west of the Province of Antwerp in Belgium.
