Stellingwarfs edition of Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Stellingwarfs (Dutch: Stellingwerfs) is the form of Dutch Low Saxon spoken in Ooststellingwerf and Weststellingwerf in the Dutch province of Friesland.

By some observers included within Stellingwarfs is Veenkoloniaals, which is spoken in the village of Noordwolde in the Dutch province of Friesland.

Stellingwarfs is easily intelligible for many Netherlanders. There is a modern literature in Stellingwarfs.

Like Het Bildt and Leeuwarden, Weststellingwerf and Ooststellingwerf are among the municipalities of Friesland, where West Frisian is not spoken.
