30-450: A common term in western and northern Germany for traditional local varieties of Low German , Low Franconian and Central German , as opposed to the standard language or regionalized varieties of the latter), but in its broadest sense, it is not of much linguistic relevance, because the varieties belong to several quite distinct groups inside the continental West Germanic dialect continuum . Wiesinger (1975, 1983a) defined Bergisch as

45-454: A dialect group spoken east of the Rhine river and being part of the "Ripuarian-Low Franconian transitional area" ( "ripuarisch-niederfränkisches Übergangsgebiet" , Wiesinger's term for South Low Franconian ).

120-447: The Benrath line, e.g. Wipperfürth , Gummersbach , Bergneustadt ). Already back in 1877, Wenker posited a Bergish dialect ( bergischer Dialect ) as part of the transitional dialect area ( Mischmundarten ) between the Uerdingen line and the Benrath line. He lists four Bergish sub-dialects: He further notes that dialects across the Uerdingen line like Elberfeld and Lennep, have characteristics of both Bergish and Westphalian. He held

165-440: The narrow sense) by the Benrath line . Unlike in earlier classifications, Wiesinger places the divide between Bergish (and South Low Franconian in general) and Kleverlandish / Westphalian not at the Uerdingen line , but further north. Several dialects in his Bergish area thus have ik 'I' instead of common South Low Franconian ich . In Wiesinger (1983b), the Bergish dialect group is called nordbergisch . Per Wiesinger, Bergish

195-409: The south and west, respectively. Wiesinger further posits three transitional areas that are not included in Bergish, but display some Bergish influence: The dialects of the Bergisches Land spoken to the southeast of the Bergish group (in the district Oberbergischer Kreis ) are classified by Wiesinger as Ripuarian (southwest of the Benrath line, e.g. Lindlar , Waldbröl ) or Westphalian (northeast of

210-461: The various Randbergisch varieties), and the retention of distinct verbal plural endings. Eastern Central Bergish shares with the Randbergisch groups Mülheim, Werden, Barmen/Elberfeld, and Remscheid the generalized plural ending -en , probably influenced by Westphalian, which has the general plural ending -t . The Randbergisch groups of Mülheim, Werden, and Barmen/Elberfeld are located to
