East Hessian is a dialect that is spoken in East Hesse , that is, in the Fulda region and partly in the Rhön .
East Hesse
With Osthessen an independent dialect space is called, which in the south to Bad Brückenau ( Bayern ), in the southwest to Schluechtern , in the West in the Vogelsberg until after Lauterbach , in the north to Bad Hersfeld and east to Geisa ( Thuringia last). In the north it borders on the Lower Hessian , in the west on the Central Hessian , in the east on the Thuringian , in the south and southeast on the East Franconian and in the southwest on the South Hessian .
According to Wiesinger , the dialect area of East Hesse includes the Fulda area from the Rhön to Bad Hersfeld.
Classification
Structurally, the East Hessian in the Fuldaer Land belongs - as the older dialect research correctly asserts - to the Rhine-Franconian , it connects to its northern, eastern and south-eastern neighbors. Heinrich J. Dingeldein from the Research Institute for the German Language at the University of Marburg and editor of the Hessian Language Atlas found that East Hessian "has a rather ancient structure compared to the other Hessian dialects" and "together with Alemannic and the dialects of the Eifel as persistently within the high German dialects ”. He introduced a similarity of the Fulda dialect with Alemannic fixed, as opposed to the central Hesse and Rhine Franconian Middle High German long vowels i, u (mhd. Iu) and u (monophthongization as niederdt.) Not to ei, eu and au by diphthongization were changed (Lower German: "min nüwes Hus" / fuld .: "mi nei Huis" instead of "my new house").
Transitional dialects and exclaves
In the Rhön a language border runs between the southwest and northeast, which separates the East Hessian and Main Franconian dialects. The linguistic transitions between East Hessian and Main Franconian or East Franconian are rather fluid. The actual limit is taken to be the different p-pf sound. In the 5th century, East Franconian took part in the shift from Germanic p to the new pf (example: Appel-Apfel), but Hessian received the old p (see also Germersheimer line ).
Dialects of the Fulda region are also spoken in southern Hungary near Pécs . The German emigrants who lived there in about twenty villages, u. a. in Feked , emigrated to Hungary at the beginning of the 18th century. They call themselves “Stiffoller”, which means Stiftsfuldaer in High German, as their ancestors came from the Fulda monastery .
documentation
Between 2003 and 2004 the sound archive of East Hesse dialects (ToM) was set up, which contains around 400 dialect samples, including 137 translations of the so-called 40 Wenker movements. In total, the archive has sound samples from 79 districts and districts of the Fulda region. ToM is run in the media center of the Fulda district.
