 Historical evidence also points to west–east asymmetry in the shift from Frisian to the mixed dialect. The Cammingha family, the noble elite based in Ballum, likely played a decisive role in initiating language shift on the island in the sixteenth century ((Dyk, S. (n.d.). //Het Amelands als Fries Nederlands mengdialect. Amelander Historie//. Retrieved September 29 2025, from https://www.amelanderhistorie.nl/products/het-amelands-als-fries-nederlands-mengdialect/)). Early documents suggest that vernacular Dutch gradually replaced Old Frisian from west to east, with Buren being the last area to abandon Frisian ((Dyk, S. (n.d.). //Het Amelands als Fries Nederlands mengdialect. Amelander Historie//. Retrieved September 29 2025, from https://www.amelanderhistorie.nl/products/het-amelands-als-fries-nederlands-mengdialect/)). This is supported by differences in vowel realisations: for example, the word //tijd// appears as //tiid// in Hollum (west) but as //tèèd// in the east, reflecting the fact that eastern Amelands developed later and adopted newer Dutch diphthongisation patterns ((Dyk, S. (n.d.). //Het Amelands als Fries Nederlands mengdialect. Amelander Historie//. Retrieved September 29 2025, from https://www.amelanderhistorie.nl/products/het-amelands-als-fries-nederlands-mengdialect/)). Thus, Amelands is not only characterised by its mixed Frisian–Dutch features but also by strong internal dialect variation, making it unique among the Frisian mixed dialects.
