I asked the Ethnologue Editor what information we have on this, and he
replied as follows:

"The Ethnologue does indeed register LIMBURGISCH [LMP] with hub country as
Netherlands with entries also for Belgium and Germany. New [in the 15th]
edition."

This is a recent change that is not yet reflected in what is shown on the
web version (and, of course, not in the printed 14th edn).
