No dialect speakers in your team? And which dialect, anyway? Just in Limburg, that has to be in the dozens, if not many many more.
If you do mean the Limburg dialect, I just checked the site for Stichting Veldeke (www.veldeke.net), which is the foundation for preservation of Limburgs, but they don't seem to have audio anywhere I can find it with a quick scan. You could also try the Limburg radio/tv stations (e.g www.l1.nl) but that might be hard to get clips of a man and a woman speaking about the same topic.
Thank you! I should have mentioned that we're all British, so imitating a Dutch dialect/accent would be tricky! We're pretty flexible on exactly which dialect to chose, so Limburg would be absolutely fine. I'll take a look at your suggestions, thank you very much for them!
Now I'm almost glad I didn't explicitly suggest just recording some clips yourselves. Bit hard if nobody speaks the language. :-)
A little more Googling gives me some audio clips on http://limburgs.cjb.net/ (under the heading 'Geluidsfragmenten'). Probably only men talking, though. An interview with a Limburg language expert from L1 radio. There might be some more resources linked there, too, I don't know. I get a lot of dead links in these searches.
