I have checked the linguistic map given by Frankfurt
University and it includes a diviation if not an
enormous error since it places the Lower Franconian
dialects outside the Low German dialects. Frings,
Gossens etc. clearly include them and Kleverlandsch
has certainly a lot more in common with Low Saxon and,
of course, Limburgsch, Vlaams and Brabants than with
any other Middle-German dialect. Theodor Frings made
once a very careful investigation to draw the divide
line between Dutch and German in the Lower Rhine area
in which he set standart Dutch and standart German as
the extremes. Places with 50 % and more Dutch
characteristics included cities such as Nuys/Neuss,
Dusseldorp/Duesseldorf, Glabbeek/Moenchengladbach and
where therefore north of the Benrath line, and
attached to the Low German dialects (though Cologne
and Aachen are clearly south of it) . Why is the
University of Frankfurt diviating from it ?
