Hannöversch
Hannöversch designates, in addition to the name that is occasionally still used for Hanover , a historical colloquial language spoken in the city of Hanover with dialect- tinged idioms . Hannöversch is "neither high-level language nor dialect in the actual sense, but a juxtaposition of dialects, sociolects and the standard language."
history
The roots of the Hanoverian are the Low German language , which was still spoken in Hanover at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries , here formed from elements
- of Low German and
- its lower form, the so-called "Calenberger Platt",
- of the "supposedly purest" High German in Germany
- and a latter between the two stationary traffic language ,
"Which is the form elements according to High German, but whose vocabulary has been heavily influenced by Low German."
For historical reasons, the Hannöversche was supplemented and “enriched” by French language elements , especially during the so-called “ French period ”.
In the 1920s, the university professor Theodor Lessing made a humorous presentation of the peculiarities of the pronunciation of the Hanoverian, especially with his humorous Hanoverian moral and language studies (see literature).
