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 including those of [[Western Pomerania]] on the other hand. 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 is of Germanic origin<sup>1</sup>, being attested in several other Germanic-speaking areas, such as Westphalian family names Arning, Smeding and Janning. |
