South Franconian German
Spoken in
- Indo-European Germanic West Germanic upper German Südfränkisch
South Rhine Franconian or Südfränkisch is a Franconian dialect group in the north of Baden- Württemberg (eg Karlsruhe, Heilbronn, Mosbach ) is spoken.
Colloquially, the South Rhine Franconian dialects in the north of the former state of Baden, subject in part to strong influences Palatine, called together with the Kurpfälzische as " the Baden ". Especially around Karlsruhe is also the name Brigantendeutsch. The South Rhine Franconian dialects spoken in Northern Württemberg (so-called Unterländisch ), however, are not referred to as " the Baden ", but often - as wrong - as the " Swabian ". However, the definition of the dialect area does not follow the in 1803 created political border between Baden and Württemberg.
Proliferation and differentiation of neighboring dialects
The South Rhine Franconian dialects are in the transition region between the Upper German and Middle German language and be influenced by, neighboring dialects:
- North: Südhessisch (Darmstadt, Heppenheim, Beerfelden )
- Northwest: Palatine ( Palatinate left bank, right bank Palatinate to Mannheim, Heidelberg, Alsatian lowlands )
- East: East Frankish
- South: Schwäbisch
- Southwest: Niederalemannisch, such as Baden -Baden and Alsace
The dtv - Atlas German language shows a map as of 1900, according to which the South Rhine Franconian can be distinguished from neighboring dialects as follows:
- From Alemannic by the Hus House Line: This begins on the Rhine runs between Rastatt and Ettlingen and along the Murg in the black forest. There she meets the boundary to the Swabian. also see: border towns of Alemannic dialect area
- From the Swabian by Mow - mähet Line: This runs from Wildbad about Pforzheim- Knittlingen - Zaberfeld -Brack Home Lauffen subgroup creek after Mainhardt in Löwenstein mountains. There she meets the border to East Franconian.
- From the East Frankish by the fixed - fescht - line: The limit for hohenlohisch dialect, which belongs to the East Frankish, extends approximately over the villages Öhringen - Ingelfingen - Boxberg- Kuelsheim - Miltenberg.
- From the Rhine Franconian ( Hessian, Palatine, also to Mannheim and Heidelberg) by the Speyer line or Appel / Apfel - line: This runs from Miltenberg on Amorbach - Eberbach glues - Schwetzingen to Speyer, from where it follows the Rhine in the south. At times here a bit further south running Germersheim line is used, the / separates the pronunciation of pounds / Pfoschde and Pund Poschde.
