Paderborn Platt

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Paderborner Platt , Paderbornisch or Paderbörnisch (Paderbornisch: Paderbüörner Platt, Patterböarner Platt, Paterboärnsk Platt, patterbürnsk Platt ) is a dialect group of East Westphalian that is widely spoken in the Paderborn region. As a rule, it is counted as part of the Westphalian branch of West Low German .

Distribution and importance

With Paderborner Platt one describes in the narrower sense a group of Low German local dialects around Paderborn and in the broader sense a group of local dialects in the district of Paderborn and in the old districts of Büren , Brakel and Warburg as well as in western parts of the old district of Höxter , i.e. H. Local dialects that are spoken in the Paderborn Monastery , the former Princes' Diocese of Paderborn in what is now North Rhine-Westphalia . As a rule, both groups belong to the Westphalian , more precisely to the East Westphalian branch of West Low German .

While the rural population spoke Low German across the board at the beginning of the 20th century, High German has largely prevailed. Paderborn's Platt hardly exists any more as everyday colloquial language.

Language history

At the beginning of the 19th century the rural population spoke mostly Low German . The high German language was introduced through several measures and has established itself as the lingua franca and displaced Low German. In some families and towns, however, Low German is still spoken today. In addition, there are some homeland associations that have Low German working groups and maintain the local Low German local species. There are also some freely organized Low German discussion groups in both districts. Low German language substrates are present in today's High German regional language.

Scientific Research

In comparison to other Westphalian dialect groups ( Münsterland , Sauerland ), the local dialects in the Paderborn region have been little or not at all scientifically researched. The exchange of written language from Middle Low German to High German has not yet been investigated in the Paderborn area.
