Hollandic

Hollandic or Hollandish (Dutch: Hollands [ˈɦɔlɑnts]) is, together with Brabantian, the most frequently used dialect of Dutch language. Other important Low Franconian language varieties spoken in the same area are Zeelandic, East Flemish, West Flemish and Limburgish.

Originally in the later county of Holland, Old Frisian was spoken. Low Franconian settlers did not come until the 12th century and 13th centuries, when Flemish settlers (Frankish-speaking) played an important part in draining the swamplands between the coast of Holland and Utrecht. They mixed with the original inhabitants, and a Hollandic dialect was created that was partly Franconian, partly Frisian.

In the 16th century, Dutch was standardized, the Brabantian Dutch of Antwerp being the most influential. The written language of the county of Holland, then the most urbanised province in Europe, began to imitate the Brabantish standard.

During the Eighty Years' War and especially after 1585, the Sack of Antwerp and the successes of the Duke of Parma in the 1580s made between 100,000 and 200,000 of Brabantish and Flemish Calvinist (and other) refugees and emigrants settle in the cities of Holland proper; that had the result of creating a mixture of their Dutch with the Dutch of the residents already there. The new language perhaps locally destroyed most of the original Hollandic dialects, replacing it with Brabantian influences and further diluting the Frisian influences on Dutch.
