Editing Didam (section)

== History ==
People in Didam speak a dialect called "Diems" (which is part of dialects of the "Liemers" region, as well part of the larger [[Kleverlandish]] dialect area) which is very similar to Diems. These two dialects are part of the [[Lower Franconian]].

Didam was a separate municipality until 1 January 2005, when it merged with [[Bergh]] to create the new municipality of Montferland.<ref>Ad van der Meer and Onno Boonstra, "Repertorium van Nederlandse gemeenten", KNAW, 2006. {{cite web|url=http://www.knaw.nl/cfdata/publicaties/detail.cfm?boeken__ordernr%3D20061061 |title=KNAW > Publicaties > Detailpagina |accessdate=3 December 2009 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070220041404/http://www.knaw.nl/cfdata/publicaties/detail.cfm?boeken__ordernr=20061061 |archivedate=20 February 2007 }}</ref> The church is dedicated to St. Mary.
