East Thuringian is a Thuringian-Upper Saxon dialect that is spoken in Thuringia around Eisenberg and Altenburg and outside Thuringia around Naumburg, Weißenfels and Zeitz. The dialect area corresponds to the historical diocese Zeitz , the county and the later office of Weißenfels , the rule of Eisenberg and the burgraviate of Altenburg .
Characteristic
This dialect combines the elements of Upper Saxon, e.g. B. the use of u instead of o ( Uchse for ox ) as well as an a ( nose for nose ) which has been dimmed to an o-sound , with the typical n-waste in Thuringia. The light vowels, however, are not carried over at all. Noticeable is a softening of the consonants, especially the unusual transformation k → g and g → j before vowels Gonnste jor nich. This phenomenon continues in the neighboring north-east Thuringia and in the Eastern part of the country , where it is sometimes even more pronounced.
Altenburg dialect
One of the hallmarks of the Altenburg rural dialect is the use of the ha for him . Speaking in this dialect ( Malchern, from Malcher "Bauer") has become rare today. A well-known representative of the Altenburg dialect was Ernst Daube (1869–1956).
As Malcher (from Melchior ) and Marche (of Mary ) in the Old Burgi's also the traditional black are Bauerntrachten for farmer and his wife called.
