Ron/Reinhard: can you decide whether or not to pass this information on

re a new subject???

We have just had this address posted on our UK Language forum.

 http://sprachatlas.bayerische-landesbibliothek-online.de/

Is it already too well known to send to the forum? Or is it a new Goodie? Or
possibly a never ending source of Yes it is /No it isn't debates?

Thanks, Heather.

The information is marginally relevant. (Few topics are totally irrelevant
to our focus.)

The language varieties you see in the northern part of Bavaria are the High
Frankish (and some Central Frankish) ones that are on a continuum with the
Central Frankish ones of the Rhenish area to the northwest, and these are
further connected with the Low Frankish ones farther west-northwest, to
which Dutch belongs. Frankish is a band of varieties that spreads from
Holland to Lower Bavaria and into parts of Saxony and Thuringia on
northwest-to-southeast angle. The High Frankish varieties have all the
features of High German, such as diphthongization (e.g. uu > au, ii > ai),
affricatization (e.g. t > ts > ss, p > pf > ff, k (> kx) > x) and devocing
(e.g. d > t).
