The Gronings (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈɣroːnɪŋs] ) (or Groninger) dialects or language, known in Gronings itself as Grunnegs or Grönnegs, are some of the Low Saxon dialects spoken in the province of Groningen and around the Groningen border in Drenthe and Friesland. Gronings and the strongly related varieties in East Frisia have a strong East Frisian influence and take a remarkable position within Low Saxon. Its typical accent and vocabulary differ strongly from the other Low Saxon dialects.
