Rhenish fan

The Rheinische subjects is the linguistic transition area from the Lower Franconian about Ripuarian and Mosel Franconian to the Rhine Franconian . It extends from north to south from Uerdingen , Düsseldorf-Benrath , Cologne , Bonn , Bad Honnef , Linz , Bad Hönningen , Koblenz and St. Goar to Speyer and covers the area of the German Lower Rhine , the Cologne Bay , the Eifel and the Westerwald and the Hunsrück .

In this area the second German phonetic shift was only partially carried out. The Ripuarian dialects and dialects spoken south of it in the area of the Rhenish fan are largely counted as Central German . The further north a dialect is in the Rhenish fan, the more it resembles Low German or Low Franconian. The unit plural line, the northernmost line of the Rhenish fan, is the language border to Westphalian .
