The speakers are generally considered Petuhschnacker designated spokespersons as Petuhtanten .

origin

According to tradition, the term petuh of the dates Petuhtanten , cultured ladies Flensburger middle class of the late 19th century, which is when driving on Fjord steamers for coffee and Klönsnack ( chat met). These mostly had a permanent ticket for the ships, a "Partout-Billet" (from French ). The colloquial term “Petuh” comes from the word “Partout”.

distribution

Petuh, which is almost threatened with extinction, is spoken of only by a few people from Flensburg - mostly actors and amateur actors; Well-known speakers were the Petuhtanten Renate Delfs (1925-2018) and Gerty Molzen (1906-1990). Nevertheless, there are always public or privately organized "Petuh aunt appearances" and the Flensburg tourist information office offers occasional tours in the Petuh language. The everyday language in the Flensburg area or by Butenflensburgers , i.e. people of Flensburg descent, also has a number of these special expressions in use.

Likewise, in the Flensburg area, for example in fishing and on the Schleswig Geest , there are noticeable substrate influences of Danish on the German dialects . A similar phenomenon is the Missingsch , which combines high and low German elements.

features

The language mixes Low German and Danish grammar and sentence structure with predominantly High German vocabulary . There are no official spelling rules : While the Flensburg local history researcher and city guide Wilhelm Ludwig Christiansen (1920–2011) preferred an almost continuous lower case , the actress Renate Delfs based herself on German capitalization . The pronunciation is characterized by numerous silent vowels. Furthermore, the High German g is mostly pronounced as ch and s and z, especially before vowels, as voiceless s "spoken with the tongue pressed against the tips of the incisors".

Examples and idioms

"And after that, let's find out exactly what works like a stain remover on the stomach and intestines."

- Ingrid Nissen

There are many idioms in today's usage: Sin or sin - always with a voiceless S and indicated d - is understood as a comment; so means “Och, Sssünn (d) e” in High German, “That’s a shame!” or “How regrettable!” Aggewars stands for junk = stress, effort, circumstance. And with the deep sigh Ohaueha (Danish: uha; uha, uha ) astonishment, relief, shock and doubt can be expressed. Ohaueha can be extended to Ohauehaueha or Ohauehauehaueha depending on the intensity .
