<b>Description:</b>

Gronings, in the language itself called Grunnegs or Grönnegs, is a collective name for some Friso-Saxon dialects spoken in the province of Groningen and around the Groningen border in Drenthe and Friesland. Gronings and the strongly related varieties in East-Frisia have a strong Frisian influence and take a remarkable position within the Low Saxon language. The language is characterized by a typical accent and vocabulary, which differ strongly from the other Low Saxon dialects.
The name Gronings can be perfectly geographically defined. The dialect in the north of the province of Drenthe (Noordenvelds) are so strongly related that most linguists see it as part of Gronings. The dialect of the southeast, called Veenkoloniaals is alike on both sides of the Groningen-Drenthe border. In the Frisian municipality of Kollumerland, the western dialect called Westerkwartiers is also spoken, as well as a separate Groningen dialect called Kollumerpompsters. The latter is spoken in the Frisian village of Kollumerpomp and has more West Frisian influences, while most Groningen dialects have a strong East Frisian influence.
The Gronings language can be subdivided into 8 dialects:
