"hard" and "soft" consonants
I'm not sure what "hard" and "soft" consonants are supposed to be. Presumably, from the example given, one means voiced and the other unvoiced consonants, but which is which? Is the "d" (a voiced consonant) hard or soft? Ireneshusband 10:33, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

current use
"In fact, the true dialect of Westphalia is not used anymore except for older people talking among each other." so it is used, then? Or don't older people count? Woolters (talk) 10:22, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

Mistakes
I cannot speak English good enough, to make changes in this article of the English Wiki, but there are mistakes in it. In the northwest there are two dialects without a common name, Mönsterländsk and Westmönsterländsk, last is also spoken in the eastern part of Dutchland, something different because the influence of Dutch, but at last it is Westmönsterländsk, but not in the north of Eastern Dutchland, in Gronningen they speak a eastfrisian Low German dialect. South ob the river Lippe they speek southwestphalian dialects, Boorbecksch and the dialect of the Sauerland are two of many southwestphalian dialects. For example, the old Vest Recklinghausen has an own, Bochum-Mark, a part of the old County of Mark has an own. How many different soutwestphalian dialects exist, I do not know, so far as I know there are no book or articles or something else, where is a list of all dialects or maps or something like this for southwestphalians dialects, but what I have written before, is all 100 % right, found by me in many books, articels and scientific internet-pages. There is a map of the Landschaftsverband Westfalen-Lippe, that can give you an idea, but attention, the map only show by different colours the regions in NRW, where the westphalian dialects will be spoken, all westphalian dialects in Niedersachsen (en: Lower Saxonia?), Waldeck (Hessen) and Dutchland will not be marked by different colors.
