Correction of false information that implies the Mecklenburgish ending -ing is derived from Slavic influence, whereas several linguistic researchers such as Agathe Lasch, Hermann Teuchert and Willy Krogmann all have established that the suffix is of Germanic origins.

'''Mecklenburgisch''' (''Mecklenborgsch'' or ''Mäkelborgsch'') is a [[Low German]] ([[Low Saxon languages|Low Saxon]]) dialect group used predominantly in the [[Mecklenburg]] area of today’s North German state of [[Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania]]. |

There is no sharp dividing line between its western dialects and adjacent [[Northern Low Saxon]] dialects on the one hand and between its eastern dialects and dialects of [[Western Pomerania]] on the other hand. Thus, although the [[Mecklenburg]] group is traditionally considered an [[East Low German]] group, it is in fact a link between eastern and western dialects. Its [[West Slavic languages|Western Slavic]] [[substratum|substrata]] do not seem to be as strong as those of dialects spoken farther east. A striking eastern characteristic is the use of the [[diminutive]] suffix ''-ing'' (e.g. ''Poot'' ‘paw’ > ''Pöting'' ‘little paw’, ''Änning'' ‘Annie’, ''lies’'' ‘quietly’, ‘softly’, ‘slowly’ > ''liesing'' ‘very quietly’, ‘very softly’, ‘very carefully’, ‘nice and easy’). This suffix first appears in modern Low German variations (early 19th century onwards), and its origins lay in the Old Saxon suffix “''ikīn”.'' The suffix is attested in several other Germanic languages, being related to Germanic -''ke, -ken, -kin'' endings. |
