Distribution area of ​​the northern Thuringian dialect

Characteristic

Northern Thuringia extends to the Low German-Central German language border. This runs through the northern Eichsfeld across the Harz Mountains and separates undisplaced (Low German) / p /, / t /, / k / from shifted (Middle and Upper German) / f /, / s /, / ch /, compare up / uf, water / water, ik / i . Further features of the space are preserved long Middle High German / iː / and / uː / as in Wiin (wine) and Huus (house), pronouns such as ha, mi (he, we), the plural formation on - / s / as in Maachens (girls ) and words like poten and trecken, which point into Low German. The Thuringian character is shown e.g. E.g. the lowering of / e / to light / a / as in asse, Laawen (eat, life) and the pronunciation of / nd / as / ng / as in finge (to find). In addition, the change from the syllable “ge” to “je-” is characteristic. Examples of this are for example “jefallen” (fallen) or “jemacht” (made). Another example of changing the syllable, especially in the Nordhäuser area, is the designation of a Nordhäuser recreation area as "Jeheeje" for "enclosure". These are similarities with the Northeast Thuringian and Halle dialect.

The language area corresponds to the historical regions of the Principality of Schwarzburg-Sondershausen ( subordinate rule ) and County of Stolberg .

In the west of the dialect area there is a transition dialect from Lower Saxony and East Falia , the Eichsfeldisch .
