> .... book-CD package *Tuur dörch Oche | Tour durch Aachen | Tour of Aachen
| Tour d'Aix-la-Chapelle* comes in Ripuarian, Standard German, English and
French: http://www.oecher-platt.de/frmset_01.htm
Some additional resources:

*Dictionaries*:

- Prof. Dr. Will Hermanns, *Aachener Sprachschatz*, Verlag J.A. Mayer,
Aachen,
1970, 7th reprint 1991, LII + 596 pp., clothbound, Öcher-German *only*, over
2 cols/page.

- *Aachener Dialekt-Wortschatz*:
Öcher Platt - Hochdeutsch und
Hochdeutsch - Öcher Platt
Öcher Platt e.V., 2000, pages not numbered (about 450 pages I guess (2
cols/page), must also exist as CD-ROM.
Very short lemmas.

*Grammar*:

- Adolf Steins, *Grammatik des Aachener Dialekts*,
1998, Böhlau Verlag, Köln,  (Reinisches Archiv 141), 242 pp.

There is published quite a lot of literature (mostly short stories
bundled) in book form and on CD (including songs by/for kids). During
carnaval you will find a lot of this stuff all over town.

You may find some stuff at:
http://www.mayersche.de/
Their multi-store bookshop in the Buchkremerstrasse
http://www.mayersche.de/index.php?id=aachen-buchkremerstr
has a large stock. I suggest you start at the back of the ground floor
(shelves with regional stuff)

> The most widely know Ripuarian dialect may be that of Cologne.

Centainly, but there are dictionaries and other publications in/about almost
every municipal dialect. They are however often hard to find, since they are
published locally, often only to preregistered buyers. You may find some of
them in antiquiarian bookshops.

Roger
