<br>Thanks, Roger!<br><br><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vilamovian_language">Vilamovian</a> is clearly a (High) German dialect and shares characteristics with other Silesian German dialects. <br><br>For example, <i>Appel</i> (instead of Standard German <i>Apfel</i> 'apple') is common in Central German varieties (including Yiddish).<br>
