120-465: A new regiolect formed, which in many respects follows the conventions of Standard German, but at the same time continues local linguistic traditions, making it comprehensible in a much wider area than the original local languages.

180-688: A strong substratum from the traditional language. The Rhinelandic regiolect has several regional and subregional features. Very many approximately coincide with the general dialect groups found in the local languages. For example: As usual, the Low Franconian area in the North uses their own way to build the diminutive.

270-407: Is closely related to the standard, but has had its independent development for several centuries; in both cases, it is alive, but losing ground in everyday communication, especially among younger people.

This is a relatively recent, and modern, version of the Lord's Prayer in Colognian, by Jean Jenniches (1894–1979). Vatterunser Leeve Herrjott, hellich ess Dinge Name. Vum Himmel us rejeers Do et janze Weltall noh Dingem Welle. Wie ne Vatter sorgs Do för de Minschheit, die he op de Äd Di Rich erwaden deit.

360-420: Is marked in the example by an underscore .)

Another good example is the word "afternoon", for which

390-530: Is nevertheless usually very helpful for finding hints to the probable meanings of words of the Rhinelandic regiolect that cannot be determined from other sources.

Aan de (archaic: den )

420-404: Is not a strict definition of what constitutes Rhinelandic; it can be spoken in a way very close to the standard idiom , but if locals talk to each other, it is mostly unintelligible to inhabitants of other German-speaking regions. Linguists classify the Rhinelandic regiolect as a dialectal variety of Standard German having a strong substratum of the many diverse local community languages of

450-566: Is one of the variants of the Ripuarian dialects (not part of the Rhinelandic regiolect , rheinisch ), which belong to West Middle German family. It is closely related to the lower Rhineland ( niederrheinisch ) and Moselle Franconian ( moselfränkisch ) dialects and combines some features of them, as well employing a variety of words hardly in use elsewhere.

480-408: Is the literal Dutch translation of Rhinelandic dem as used with masculine nouns, not Standard German des as used with masculine nouns, which would be van de (archaic: des ).

510-521: The Rhinelandic regiolect . In fact, the regiolect is very different from Kölsch, being the regional variety of Standard German influenced only to a certain degree by the dialect. As such, many native speakers of the regiolect are in fact unaware of the fact that a “regiolect” exists, believing they speak plain Standard German. In its modern form, it is of comparatively recent origin. It developed from Historic Colognian , but has been under

Thus

Scientists of today's Landschaftsverband have observed, documented, and researched lingual development in

It was also influenced by French during the occupation of the Left Bank of the Rhine under Napoleon Bonaparte from 1794 to 1815, and therefore contains some more words from and expressions pertaining to French than does Standard German. There are also phonological similarities with French, which however may be coincidental. Kölsch

810-422: The regiolect is based on Standard German. Thus, it uses ers'ma ("first") from the standard "erst mal" (vs. dialect: eesch ens ), and schonn ("already") from the standard "schon" (vs. dialect: att or allt ).

840-490: The regiolect uses a form similar to the dialect, but has adapted a vowel and a consonant to the standard. The continuum Rhenish dialects – Rhenish regiolect – Standard German is comparable (however not wholly equal) to the continuum Scots – (colloquial) Scottish English – British Standard English in Lowland Scotland. The first end of the continuum is made up by the traditional regional language, which

870-465: The strong dialectal influence is also evident: Word final t/d is often deleted after another consonant ( jetz, un ); there is a tendency towards vowel shortening ( schonn, widder ); some structure words come in the dialectal form ( mer = "wir"; et = "es, das"); and words with an initial vowel are not separated from the preceding word by a glottal stop , but rather linked to it, like in English. (This

900-435: The subregion they come from. Differing across subregions of the Rhineland, and continually evolving, the Rhinelandic regiolect is not easily formalized. Though spoken by millions, it is rarely written down, which hampers scientific treatment. It has long been regarded as 'sheer colloquial speech ' by the scientific community, valued too low to be subject of serious recognition and research. Only recently has it shifted into
