Maos and Waols - An evening of regional dialects and good cheer

This is an old post.

On Wednesday, April 9, 2025, the Digi-Taalhuis West Maas en Waal is organizing an evening dedicated to the Maos en Waols regional dialect. The event will take place at MFA De Rosmolen in Beneden-Leeuwen and starts at 8:00 PM. Admission is free.

During this evening, visitors can enjoy a choir singing songs in the Maas and Walloon dialects. Rinie van Haren will also recite several of his own poems and read a story in the local dialect. In addition, attendees can test their knowledge with a fun local dialect quiz.

Alderman Reuvers: "Our dialect is an important part of our culture and history. It connects generations and contributes to our identity. It’s wonderful that we organize evenings like this to keep our regional language alive and pass it on to future generations."

The evening is intended for both those who are familiar with the regional dialect and anyone who would like to learn more about it. It promises to be a fun and informative gathering.
