Frisian-Saxon languages
Frisian-Saxon is a name for a group of West Germanic varieties on the southern North Sea coast in the Netherlands and Germany . It was introduced by the Dutch dialectologist Johan Winkler in the 19th century for his classification of Low German, Dutch and Frisian dialects and was initially received a few times in the following years. It is not used in modern linguistics.
Commonly, the term Frisian-Saxon (or Frisian-Saxon) encompasses those Low German or Lower Saxon dialects that established themselves in former Frisian- speaking regions from the Middle Ages and replaced Frisian as the vernacular. A Frisian substratum is often clearly recognizable in such dialects . This mainly concerns the East Frisian and North Oldenburg Low German as well as the Groninger Low Saxon , which both developed in a similar way on the basis of the East Frisian language , but also limited to Low German in the Land Wursten .
The linguistic inconsistency of the term is shown by the fact that different varieties fall under the same term, which were influenced by different Frisian languages at different times under different conditions and accordingly cannot show any uniform characteristics that can be traced back to this language contact. For example, Stellingwerfs , the Lower Saxon dialect in the Stellingwerven , is also known as the Frisian-Saxon dialect. In contrast to East Frisian Low German, for example, this variety does not have an East Frisian substrate, but a West Frisian astrate . Linguistic influences beyond Frisian are also ignored in this classification.
A term used analogously and also introduced by Johan Winkler in 1874 is friso-Franconian , which in the same way is intended to summarize the Lower Franconian and Dutch varieties that have developed in contact with the West Frisian language, e.g. B. Stadt Frisian , Bildts and the West Frisian dialects .
These terms introduced by Winkler are therefore not suitable for designating common linguistic properties. They therefore rather refer to historical cultural contexts from the Frisian viewpoint of Winkler, who comes from the Dutch province of Friesland.
