Taubergründisch is an East Franconian dialect that is spoken in the southwest of the Bavarian Main-Spessart district and in the Main-Tauber district of Baden-Württemberg around Wertheim, Tauberbischofsheim and Lauda-Königshofen.

Language area

The Taubergründische borders in the north and east on the Lower Franconian , in the south on the Hohenlohe and in the west and northwest on the Odenwald . Centers are Wertheim , Tauberbischofsheim and Lauda-Königshofen . The geologically important boundary between red sandstone and shell limestone stretches through the area of ​​these dialects , the former being mainly found in the Odenwald and the latter in building land. This boundary line runs around Wertheim, Külsheim, Walldürn and Buchen and suggests that this change in rock formation coincides with an original change of settlement and tribe.

Inner structure

By Tauber zone, the so-called draws Tauber border . It is the weakest border between the Lower East Franconian and the Southeast Franconian . Distinguishing features for this are the Lower East Franconian diphthongs äü , äi and öü and the diphthongs ei and ee, which are common in Hohenlohe . The typical unterostfränkischen endingless infinitives as g'schloff or helf remain in Tauber Green Indic at schloffe or help . The Taubergründisch thus behaves similarly to the Hohenlohe grammar. The Germersheim line also roams this area almost covering the Tauber border . They say in Tauberbischofsheim still firmly or have , it is said in the southern district Dittigheim already Fescht and snatches . Both isoglosses divide the Taubergründische into a lower Taubergrund and a middle Taubergrund.
