Brumunda serves as the border between Furnes and Veldre, and during the Middle Ages, it was the border between southern and northern Hedemarken. It still serves as the border between the southern and northern variants of the Hedmarksk dialect. North of the river people use ei and øy, while on the south side they say e and ø.
