South Guelderish (Dutch:
Zuid-Gelders, German:
Südgeldersch) refers to the easternmost group of
Dutch dialects spoken along the lower Rhine (Dutch
Nederrijn and German
Niederrhein). In its narrower sense, the term refers strictly to the Rivierenlands,
Nijmeegs, and Liemers sub-dialects; in its broader sense, the term encompasses also North Limburgish in the
Netherlands and Kleverlander (around
Cleves; Dutch
Kleverlands, German
Kleverländisch) and
East Bergish in
Germany. South Guelderish (in the narrow sense) — especially Rivierenlands — is sometimes included as part of
Brabantic, a more widely spoken Dutch dialect and the closest relative of South Guelderish. Alternatively, it is considered to extend southward into Northern
Limburg until the
Uerdingen line. It is arguably more appropriate to group South Guelderish (narrow sense), North Limburgish, Kleverlander, and East Bergish into one dialect group—East Dutch.
