Sallaans (Dutch: Sallands) is a collective term for the Dutch Low Saxon dialects of the region Salland in the eastern Netherlands. A common term used by native speakers for their dialect which is also used by Low Saxon speakers from other regions for their respective dialects is plat or simply dialect. Yet another common usage is to refer to the language by the name of the local variety where for instance Dal(f)sens would be the name for the Sallaans variety spoken in the village of Dalfsen.
