2: South Franconian |
South Franconian ( German: Südfränkisch) or South Rhine Franconian ( German: Südrheinfränkisch) is an Upper German dialect which is spoken in the northernmost part of Baden-Württemberg in Germany, around Karlsruhe, Mosbach and Heilbronn. Like closely related East Franconian it is a transitional dialect, which unites elements of Central German and Upper German.
The language area is located in the transient zone between Rhine Franconian dialects ( Hessian and Palatinate German) in the north and Alemannic German ( Low Alemannic and Swabian German) in the south. South Franconian is one of the High German dialects with the lowest number of speakers. South Franconian is not considered a separate dialect by some observers. The scope of South Franconian is disputed.
