The name ''Gronings'' can almost be defined geographically, as can be seen on the map below. This is especially true for the northern part of Drenthe (number 8 on that map). ''Drents'', spoken in the north of the province of [[Drenthe]] ([[Noordenveld]]) is somewhat related with the Groninger language, but the core linguistics is ''Drents''. For the dialects in the southeast, called ''[[Veenkoloniaals]]'', it is a bit different on both sides of the Groningen-Drenthe border, as the dialect spoken there is much more related to ''Gronings''. In the easternmost part of the [[Friesland|Frisian]] municipality of [[Noardeast-Fryslân]], the western dialect called ''[[Westerkwartiers]]'' is also spoken, as well as a separate Groningen dialect called ''[[Kollumerpompsters]]''. The latter is spoken in the Frisian village of [[Kollumerpomp]] and has more [[West Frisian language|West Frisian]] influences, while most Groningen dialects have a strong influence from the [[Saterland Frisian language|East Frisian language]].
