Beschreibung:

A map describing the principal dialect groupings of the closed West Germanic dialect continuum between German, Frisian, Low Franconian / Netherlandic and Low Saxon / Low German around the year 1900. Based on:

• W. Heeringa: Measuring Dialect Pronunciation Differences using Levenshtein Distance, University of Groningen, 2009, pp. 232-234.
• P. Wiesinger: Die Einteilung der deutschen Dialekte. In: Dialektologie. Ein Handbuch zur deutschen und allgemeinen Dialektforschung, series: HSK 1.2, Berlin, New York, pp. 807-900
• W. König: dtv-Altas Deutsche Sprache, 2019, Munich, pp. 230.
• J. Goossens: Deutsche Dialektologie, Walter de Gruyter, 1977, pp. 48.
• C. Giesbers: Dialecten op de grens van twee talen, Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen, 2008, pp. 233.

• Note: The majority of the map is based on that of Wiesinger, the former eastern areas of the German language are principally based on König. When in conflict in one another, priority was given to Wiesinger.

Legend: Lines

• The thin white/black dashed line represents the area in which two Dachsprachen are present: Standard Dutch (alongside Standard West Frisian) in the Netherlands, and Luxemburgish (alongside Standard German) in Luxemburg.
• The thick white line represents Standard Language isogloss (Goossens) between the dialects for which Dutch is the standard language (to the left of the line) and those for whom German is the standard language (right of the line).
• Striped lines indicate transitional dialects.
