West Thuringian is a Thuringian-Upper Saxon dialect, which also has many features of East Franconian and individual features of Hessian , which is spoken north of the salt arch , in the Thuringian Forest north of the Rennsteig in the Wartburg district , in Eisenach and in parts of the north Hessian Werra-Meißner district . Ringgauisch is the historical name for this dialect.
Demarcation

The historical Ringgau dialect area essentially corresponds to the area of the historical Ringgau . To the west, the West Turkish borders on the West Central German Hessian dialect . Southwest of the salt arch is the Rhöner Platt , which is influenced by East Franconia and East Hesse . In the southeast, beyond the salt arch, the Main Franconian dialect Hennebergisch borders.
Historically, the transition area to the Rhöner Platt and the Henneberg dialect in the Bad Salzungen area was also viewed as a separate sub- dialect . The Salzunger Christian Ludwig Wucke was a dialect poet of the Salzunger dialect and the Rhöner Platt.
There is also information that describes West Thuringian as an old Franconian- Thuringian mixed dialect. Here the term Old Franconian refers to the fact that the corresponding parts of the language are older than the later development of Hessian and Franconian .
Characteristic
Examples of this are the pound / fund limit, the use of the / b / in question words ( boas 'was', boarümm 'why') and the preservation of three different gender forms of the numeral two ( two men, two women, two king ).
Already above the salt arch, in the area around the towns of Bad Salzungen and Bad Liebenstein, the transition to the soft East Franconian pronunciation of the consonants / t / and / p / begins to the south. To the north, on the other hand, the throaty pronunciation and “Saxon” as characteristics of Thuringian-Upper Saxon increase from here on.
