'''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 is most likely derived from [[West Slavic]] varieties once spoken in the area (cf. diminutive ''-inka'' in other Slavic languages). |
