Markish dialects

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Märkische dialects form a dialect group of East Low German . In a very original form, Märkisch, also known colloquially as Märkisch- Low German , is still spoken in parts of Western Pomerania and in the north of the federal states of Saxony-Anhalt and Brandenburg , for example in the Altmark , the Uckermark or the Prignitzer region. Further south, Märkish is heavily influenced by Central German and has been partially replaced. Many East Low German expressions also occur in Anhalt , a dialect of Thuringian-Upper Saxon in Saxony-Anhalt.

The vocabulary of the Brandenburg dialects is recorded and described in the Brandenburg-Berlin dictionary (dialects in Brandenburg and Berlin), in the Pomeranian dictionary (Brandenburg dialects in Western Pomerania) and in the Middle Elbian dictionary (Brandenburg dialects in Saxony-Anhalt).

Dialects or dialects of Märkisch

particularities

The Märkische has a partly strong Dutch-Lower Franconian character, which shows the proportion of Lower Franconian settlers in the Brandenburg colonization of the 12th – 13th centuries. Century reflects, and differs, among other things, from the northern neighboring Mecklenburgisch-Vorpommerschen . Teuchert (1944) therefore described the Brandenburg dialects as "colonial Dutch". This position is today i. d. Usually rejected or put into perspective, however, influences in the area of ​​lexicons are undisputed.

In the Berlin area, the Brandenburg dialects have mixed with East Central German dialects over the years to such an extent that there are only relatively few connections with East Low German. That is why the Berlin variants of Brandenburg are now viewed as East Central German dialects and are grouped under the name Lausitz-Neumärkisch . Lusatian-Neumärkish consists of Lausitz , Südmärk and Neumärk . Märkisch was spoken in the past up to the Havelland and the Oderbruch . As a result of the northern migration of the Benrath Line , the Märkische was largely displaced by the Lusatian-Neumärkische.
