East Brabantian dialects are mainly spoken in the eastern part of the province of North Brabant.
Some peculiarities are typical eastern and shared with the Limburgish dialects while others only occur locally.
[2] East Brabantian dialects have been somewhat influenced by the Cologne language expansion and thus share some features with it which are absent from western varieties.
Such differences include umlaut in diminutives and the conjugation of Germanic strong verbs (like in Limburgish).
Conjugations such as velt vs Dutch valt "falls" are typically East Brabantian.
