Struggle for independance[edit]

I've lived on the Veluwe for most of my life, there's no "struggle for indepedance" or an increased risk for violence. I don't recall the incidident mentioned nor can I find anything about it on google. BabyNuke 16:27, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I live in Heerde and I can assure you that in the northern part of the Veluwe there is an extreme urge to create an independent Veluwe or Noord-Veluwe (North Veluwe). People from the Veluwe (Veluwenaren) are sick and tired of being labelled as Gelderlanders or Dutch. They are a seperate ethnic group with a unique culture and wish to have their independence granted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.46.3.10 (talk) 21:05, 2 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

IPA pronunciation[edit]

Put an IPA transcription, please. There are some difficulties with "Veluwe" pronunciation both in English and Dutch. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.21.40.13 (talk) 02:40, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I would if I knew how BabyNuke (talk) 12:51, 23 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe this text will be helpful:Help:IPA. Perhaps it sounds like [ˡveː.lуə](Dutch), but I'm not sure. Am I right? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.57.218.60 (talk) 19:44, 23 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
