Rhine Franconian
Encyclopedia : R : RH : RHI : Rhine Franconian
Rhenish Franconian (in German: Rheinfränkisch) is a dialect family of West Central German. It comprises the German dialects spoken in the Moselle département of the Lorraine region of northeast France across the Western regions of the Saarland, Rhineland-Palatinate, and Hesse state in Germany. To the north, it is bounded by the Sankt Goar line (“das/dat line”) which separates it from Moselle Franconian; to the south, it is bounded by the Main line which is also referred to as the Speyer line which separates it from the Upper German dialects.
