'''Sevenum''' ({{IPA|nl|ˈseːvənʏm|lang|nl-Sevenum.ogg}}; {{langx|li|Zaerum}}) is a [[town]] in the province of [[Limburg (Netherlands)|Limburg]] in southeastern [[Netherlands]]. Until 2010, it was also the name of the [[Municipalities of the Netherlands|municipality]] comprising the towns of Sevenum, [[Kronenberg (Netherlands)|Kronenberg]] and [[Evertsoord]]. Amusement park [[Toverland]] is located in Sevenum.

== Location ==
Sevenum's neighbour towns are (clockwise, starting from East): [[Blerick]], [[Venlo]], [[Maasbree]], Evertsoord, Kronenberg, and [[Hegelsom]]. Currently, Sevenum is part of the municipality [[Horst aan de Maas]], and is the second biggest town, after [[Horst, Limburg]].

Sevenum-town and Kronenberg are tangented by highway [[International E-road network|E34]], provincial road N277 ([[Middenpeelweg]]), and the railroad track [[Eindhoven]]-[[Venlo]]; Evertsoord lies on the edge of the [[Peel, Netherlands|Peel]], a former [[peat]]land.

==Dialect==
Sevenum's dialect, "Zaerums", is transitional between [[Limburgish]], North-Limburgish (see [[Low Rhenish]]), and [[Brabantian dialect|Brabantian]], which all have tentative borders within a larger [[dialect continuum]].
