Ooststellingwerf (Frisian: Eaststellingwerf) is a municipality in southeast Friesland with a dialect (Stellingwerfs) which forms a transition from Frisian to 'Saksisch' (the general name for eastern Netherlands vernaculars, like Drents, Twents, Grunnings), which resembles closely 'Plattdeutsch' in northwest Germany.
