Wie „schlesisch“ ist die Mundart von Klein Mohrau

Abstrakt

How „Silesian” is the Klein Mohrau dialect?

The article deals with the lexical and phonetic peculiarities of the above dialect. It is apparent that from the lexical point of view, this dialect can be classified as a Silesian dialect, and thus an East Central German Ostmitteldeutsch dialect. However, some phonetic peculiarities show a tendency towards Upper German Oberdeutsch dialects, therefore we can assume that during the development of this dialect there was a certain mixing of speakers from both regions.
