 Though the Nederlandse Taalunie (Language Union) gave a negative advice to recognise Limburgish, the Ministry of the Interior adopted this recommendation from the working group in February 1997, and so, before the ECRML was enacted in the Netherlands in 1998, Limburgish was recognised under part II of the ECRML ((Veldeke Limburg. (n.d.). Erkenning als streektaal [ENg: recognition as regional language]((https://www.veldeke.net/taal/erkenning-als-streektaal/]].))((Kroon, S., & Vallen, T. (2004). Dialect in Limburg.

Despite the recognition, the secretary-general of the Nederlandse Taalunie stated in 1999, that the recognition of Limburgish was an "unfortunate decision"((Kroon, S., & Vallen, T. (2004).

-In April 2023, an open letter written by [[languages:limburgish_in_the_netherlands#organisations|Hoes veur ’t Limburgs]] was sent to the provincial government of Limburg with the call to recognise Limburgish under [[general_information:glossary_of_terms#European Charter for Regional and Minority languages|part III]], before December 2024 ((Hoes veur ’t Limburgs.

The Provincial Council of Limburg decided that more research and support was needed for recognition under part III of the European Charter in December 2023.
