.png) Germanic Dialects in 1900 in Germany as of today's borders (8): Marchian (Brandenburgish) | |
TheMarchian dialects[citation needed] (named after theMarch of Brandenburg; also calledBrandenburgian[1] orBrandenburgish; German:Brandenburgisch) aredialects ofLow German, more preciselyEast Low German, spoken inGermany in the northern and western parts ofBrandenburg (Uckermark,Prignitz andMittelmark regions) as well as in northernSaxony-Anhalt (Altmark).The language area can be further divided into North-Markish (Stendal,Wittenberge,Prenzlau) and Middle-Markish (Brandenburg an der Havel).
The modern South-Markish (also called South Brandenburgian) dialects of southern Brandenburg and Berlin, however, are not Low German but Central German dialects. With the development of the Berlin metropolitan area, the original Low German Brandenburgish of Berlin developed intoBerlinerisch, the local High German dialects, which today are considered an East Central German subgroup. The spread of High German into the Brandenburgish language area is an ongoing process.
