So what's is the legend for this graph? Yellow = ? Violet = ? Blue = ? Sorry! It's the bavarian or austrian dialect regions. Yellow = North Bavarian Dialect Violet = Middle- or Danube Bavarian Dialect Blue = South Bavarian Dialect |

North bavarian???
It's Fränkisch, don't call this bavarian.
German accents are very different. Everytime with different grammar, own words and unique pronouncing.
I remember my 1st time in Austria as child, I understand nothing.
Greetings from Saxony, where we have at least 3 very different accents and 1 official minority language beside sächsisch.

Beware of committing a blunder here: North bavarian is NOT meant to be the same as "fränkisch" (or "frrränggisch", to be correct). The yellow area may also cover small parts of "Franken" (while not the major cities Nürnberg, Würzburg and Bamberg), but mostly consists of the administrative region called "Oberpfalz" and is by no means identical to the area where "fränkisch" is spoken, which can be found here. |

I had never noticed the 2 dots over the 'i' before! I'll try to explain it, and I apologise to members not interested in the French language. This spelling is a consequence of the rules of French pronunciation. In French, when a 'a' is followed by a 'i', pronunciation is normally altered as a diphthong is created (both vowels are merged to produce a different sound). When 'a' and 'i' must be pronounced separately, then we must add these two dots on the 'i' (written 'ï'). For instance, the city of Dubai is written in French 'Dubaï' to preserve its pronunciation. |

The Internet was established by English speakers, therefore anything that did not exist in English was left out. Yet, you cannot write French without its specific accents, or Spanish without 'ñ'. And think about Serbo-Croatian ! Unless you want to leave us with one language only, you must allow a diversity in writing. Unfortunately, this discussion does not belong in this thread ! |

And think about Serbo-Croatian ! Unless you want to leave us with one language only, you must allow a diversity in writing. Unfortunately, this discussion does not belong in this thread ! I must strongly disagree.... In 15th century polish and czech languages were still very close to the original "old-slovenian"....almost the same. We the Czechs had Jan Hus who made for centuries appraised reform and come with all those marks above most letters. In Poland no such reform never came and they still do live happily without any of those. If you read the text without those marks and the letter is different you still undestand it nicely and I am 10000000% sure same is valid for franch, german and spanisch etc. I hope unrealistically we might have some smart reformator to get rid of all this. It is good only for the poor kids to spend thousands of hours at school learning something having in todays real life only historical value. For sure not for this topic ! |
