Upper Franconian dialects

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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 .

For East Upper Franconian , which is popularly also called Upper Franconian , see there .
