Upper Franconian dialects
Upper Franconian dialects or North Upper German are those Upper German dialects that are formed from the East Franconian and South Franconian dialect associations. A not often used designation of these dialects is Hochfränkisch, which is used analogously to Niederfränkisch .
Because of the fundamental structural differences, according to Peter Wiesinger , the designation Upper Franconian dialects is objectively not justified and is therefore avoided within dialectology .
