Subject: <span class="gI">[LLL] Dialect contimuum</span><br>
<br>
Hi all,<br>
<br>
A friend was searching around for the Lord's Prayer in different
languages and he discovered this video of a gentleman reading the Lord's
Prayer in Hochdeutsch, Luxemburgish and "Platdeutsch". My question is
this: Where is this dialect of Plat spoken? How does the translation
sound? He postscripted this recording with the fact that the plat
translation isn't faithful to the original Greek.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
<br>

Language varieties<br><br>Hi, Ben!<br><br>My take is that his pronunciation in all three varieties is iffy. There are too many "iffinesses" to name them all.<br><br>For instance, he pronounces <i>hochdeutsch</i> as [ˈhɔxdoɪʧ] instead of correct [ˈhoːxdɔɪʧ].<br>
<br>He may have never heard Low German (Low Saxon) pronounced before. Among the most striking errors are ...<br><br>(1) pronouncing syllable-final -r<br>(2) inconsistent pronunciation of long a as [ɒː] and [aː]<br><br>Regards,<br>
