“This "Danish" in fact reflected local dialects; a standard language did not yet exist. But a certain dominance of Zealandic forms is visible already in the late Middle Ages: the administrative, ecclesiastical and commercial center of Denmark lay on Zealand (Roskilde, Copenhagen), and a Zealandic chancery style (inspired by German and Latin syntax) was developing.”

“Here it seems natural to pay attention to some North-east Zealandic names ending in -rum, viz. Wigarum, AEsarum (and Niartherum ?).”

“...the extent of the deflectional changes varies among the dialects, Jutish always having gone the furthest, Scanian always the most conservative, with Zealandic taking an intermediate position.”

“In Zealandic Dutch ben- is the stem for the present tense for all persons except for 3SG (is).”

“Within Middle Dutch we can distinguish five large dialect groups: Flemish (including Zealandic), sometimes subdivided into West and East Flemish, was spoken in the modern region ofWest and East Flanders (Ghent, Bruges, Courtray); Brabantian was the language of the area covered by the modern Dutch province of North Brabant and the Belgian provinces of Brabant and Antwerp; Hollandic was mainly used in the present day provinces of North and South Holland and parts of Utrecht, while the people in Limburg (now a part of the Netherlands and Belgium) communicated in the Limburgish dialect.”

“Zealandic has a southern lexicon and there is no trace of a partially southern lexicon in Afrikaans.”
