| Description | Futher to discovered mountain-German and middle-east German dialect features, dialect areas are defined in North Moravia. Fefteen words altogether have been chosen to demonstrate the territorial distribution of dialectal variants in the maps. These fifteen words capture the development of middle-mountain German vowels and diphthongs /e/, /i/, /é/, /ei/, /ou/, /iu/, /ouw/ as well as the consonant -b- in the middle of the word and the group -nd at the end of the word. The performed evaluation of monitored dialectal features show that in North Moravia there are - for one thing - areas with significant or mild dominance of east-middle German features -for another thing - there are areas with significant or mild dominance of mountain-German dialectal features. Some areas can be characterized by poor or no presence of dialectal features at all. |
