Sevenum's dialect, "Zaerums", is transitional between Limburgish, North-Limburgish, and Brabantian, which all have tentative borders within a larger dialect continuum. In the diagram "Kleverlandish" on this page, Sevenum is situated near the bottom-left corner of the blue area, which is the intersection of the horizontal "ich/ik" isogloss with the vertical "kalt/koud" isogloss.
The overview of town names in Limburgish at Streektaal.net lists "Zaerum" and "De Kroeënenberg", but it doesn't include "De Pieël", considering it to be in the North-Limburgish area.
