Summary[edit]

Description

Representation of the three current language regions of the German language (Low German = yellow, Middle German = orange, Upper German = red), which are compared to the historical, closed German language regions in the former eastern German areas and the Sudetenland before 1945 (classification according to color, weaker coloring).

Language regions (current as well as historical) are drawn from the map "Verbreitung und Raumgliederung deutscher und niederländischer Sprache als Mundart der ländlichen Bevölkerung in Mitteleuropa um 1900“ (Distribution and spatial division of the German and Dutch languages as a dialect of the rural population in Central Europe around 1900); Regionalssprache.de
