Location
editSevenum's neighbour towns are (clockwise, starting from East): Blerick, Venlo, Maasbree, Evertsoord, Kronenberg, and Hegelsom. Currently, Sevenum is part of the municipality Horst aan de Maas, and is the second biggest town, after Horst, Limburg.
Sevenum-town and Kronenberg are tangented by highway E34, provincial road N277 (Middenpeelweg), and the railroad track Eindhoven-Venlo; Evertsoord lies on the edge of the Peel, a former peatland.
Dialect
editSevenum's dialect, "Zaerums", is transitional between Limburgish, North-Limburgish (see Low Rhenish), and Brabantian, which all have tentative borders within a larger dialect continuum.
The overview of town names in Limburgish at Streektaal.net [3] lists "Zaerum" (Sevenum) and "De Kroeënenberg" (Kronenberg), but it does not include "De Pieël" (Evertsoord), considering it to be in the North-Limburgish area.
