classification

Lake Constance or Middle Alemannic is a dialect in the eastern part of the Lower Alemannic language area.

The Alemanni on Lake Constance

In the year 15 BC BC Emperor Augustus ordered the subjugation of the Celts and Rhaetians . Then the Romans built castles in Bregenz , Arbon , Eschenz and Constance on Lake Constance . As early as 260 AD, the northern shore of Lake Constance was taken by the Alemanni. It was not until the end of the 4th century AD that the Alemanni took over the area as far as the Alps.

distribution

The traditional distribution area of ​​West Upper German (= Alemannic) dialect features in the 19th and 20th centuries. The Bodenseealemannic dialects form one of the large Alemannic subgroups.

Lake Constance is spoken in the following regions:

In addition, there are transition areas to Swabian and High Alemannic; see. the article Middle Alemannic . Most of all, traditional Lake Constance Alemannic has only survived on the Höri peninsula and on the Swiss shore of the Untersee between Eschenz and Triboltingen .

The Alemannic language in the Lake Constance area itself was and is influenced by the different language habits in the two German federal states of Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria and in the national states of Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Specialists and administrative staff do not always come from the Lake Constance region and bring their own language skills with them.

features

Lake Constance Alemannic differs from the Upper Rhine-Manish dialects adjoining it to the west mainly in the unified plural of the verbs on “-et” instead of “-e”, e.g. B. "mähet" instead of "mäh" ( high German : "mähen / mäht / mähen"). This feature shares the Lake Constance Alemannic with the Swabian dialects and the Swiss German dialects east of the Brünig-Napf-Reuss line .

Lake Constance Alemannic differs from the high Alemannic dialects adjoining it to the south in Switzerland and southern Hegau in that the second sound shift does not appear when the initial / k / is started. So in Lake Constance it is called a child , in a highly Alemannic way it is called Chind .

Even in the district of Konstanz there are differences in pronunciation. The "larynx line" goes from Iznang to Singen (Hohentwiel) to Watterdingen . High Alemannic is spoken to the south and Niederalemannic to the north. For High German , the dialect variety can mean gseit, gsaat, gsoot, gsoat, gseet.

The transitions to the Swabian region to the north are fluid; in Lindau , Friedrichshafen or the Allgäu , the dialect is more likely to be called Swabian for historical and political reasons.

In the course of the 20th century, the border with Swabia - mainly due to the mobility along the Ulm - Friedrichshafen line - shifted from north of Ravensburg to the Obersee. The current language in the parts of the eastern Lake Constance area that belong to Germany therefore mostly approaches Swabian today. Although the dialects belong to Lower Alemannic according to generally known dialect maps, the modern dialects should rather be assigned to Swabian. Typically Alemannic forms (e.g. Huus instead of Swabian Hous “house”, gsi instead of Swabian gsei / gweä “been” etc.) can usually only be heard further west (Upper Rhine) or in Switzerland. However, the use of the gsi is still common, especially among the older rural population in western Upper Swabia or the Linzgau . However, there is no clear boundary, and language habits vary greatly from place to place.
