Trierisch

The Trier is a dialect group that is spoken in the city of Trier . Colloquially it is called " Trier Platt ". Trierisch belongs to the Moselle-Franconian dialect group . There is not only one Trier dialect, but different ones depending on the district. The Trierisch also differs quite clearly from the dialects of the surrounding villages, whose inhabitants usually do not refer to their dialect as Trierisch. The reasons for the discrepancies between the Trier dialect and Moselle Franconian are occasionally referred to as Berlin influences: When Trier came to Prussia in 1815, there was a large influx of Prussian officials who had a lasting influence on the language.
