Frans Nieuwenhuis (born 1936) sings in the Veluws dialect.

Veluws is usually divided into two main dialects, West-Veluws and Oost-Veluws (East Veluws), these two dialects are reasonably similar but differ in grammar. For example: in Oost-Veluws it is said Script error: No such module "Lang". ('you are working') and in West-Veluws Script error: No such module "Lang". ('you are working').

West-Veluws has more influence from Dutch. Typically the closer one gets to the border with Oost-Veluws, the more the dialects differ from Standard Dutch. For example, in the central part where West-Veluws is spoken Script error: No such module "Lang". ('he is standing'); in the northwestern part the corresponding phrase sounds Script error: No such module "Lang"., compared to Script error: No such module "Lang". in Oost-Veluws. The latter has more Low Saxon influence. In Hattem, the northeastern part where Oost-Veluws is spoken, it has more Sallandic influences.[citation needed]

Westveluws is classified as Low Franconian (Script error: No such module "Lang".), more specifically as belonging to Script error: No such module "Lang"., while Oostveluws is Low Saxon (Script error: No such module "Lang".).[2] In another classification, the dialects in the South and West of Veluwe (together with e.g. North Holland and Utrecht) belong to the Central Dutch varieties and are Low Franconian, while the North and East of Veluwe (together with e.g. Salland) is part of Overijssel and belong to Low Saxon.[3] In another terminology, Veluws is the dialect of the West, South and Center of Veluwe (Low Franconian) and Sallands is the dialect in a small part in the North and the East of Veluwe and Salland (Low Saxon).[4]
