Dialect

Kleverlandish

Sevenum's dialect, "Zaerems", is transitional between Limburgish, North-Limburgish (see Low Rhenish), and Brabantian. In the diagram, Sevenum is situated near the bottom-left corner of the blue area, which is the intersection of the horizontal "ich/ik" isogloss (the Uerdingen line) with the vertical "kalt/koud" isogloss.

The list of Limburgish town names at Streektaal.net [1] has "Zaerem" (Sevenum) and "De Kroeënenberg" (Kronenberg), but it doesn't include "De Pieël" (Evertsoord), considering it to be in the North-Limburgish area.
