/ɛ/ is the only "short open E" sound in the dialect. The phonetically open [æ] does not have a phonemic status, and it is unclear whether it even appears as an allophone of /ɛ/.
/ɒ, ɒː/ are phonetically open but phonologically open-mid, the back counterparts of /œ, œː/.
/aː/ is somewhat 'laxer' [ɐː] than in Standard Dutch. As in most other dialects, it is the phonological long counterpart of /ɑ/.
As many other Limburgish dialects, the Venlo dialect features a contrastive pitch accent, with minimal pairs such speule /ˈspøːlə/ 'to rinse' vs. speule /ˈspǿːlə/ 'to play' and bein /ˈbɛjn/ 'legs' vs. bein /ˈbɛ́jn/ 'leg', with the first word in each pair featuring Accent 1 (left unmarked) and the second word Accent 2 (transcribed as a high tone).
