East Franconian Germanとは 意味・読み方・使い方

East Franconian (Ostfränkisch) is a dialect which is spoken in northern Bavaria and other areas in Germany around Nuremberg, Bamberg, Coburg, Würzburg, Hof, Bayreuth, Bad Mergentheim, Crailsheim and Suhl. The major subgroups are Unterostfränkisch (spoken in Lower Franconia and southern Thuringia), Oberostfränkisch (spoken in Upper and Middle Franconia) and Südostfränkisch (spoken in some parts of Middle Franconia and Hohenlohe). The Vogtländisch and Erzgebirgisch dialects spoken in western Saxony (Vogtland and Ore Mountains region) around Plauen segue into Upper Saxon German. The language roughly overlaps with Franconia and southern Thuringia, being a transitional dialect.
