Moselle Franconian dialects
Moselle Franconian
(German
Moselfränkisch
) is a group of
West Central German
dialects, part of the
Central Franconian
language area. They are spoken in the southern
Rhineland
and along the course of the
Moselle River
, in the
Siegerland
in the German state of
North Rhine-Westphalia
, throughout western
Rhineland-Palatinate
and
Saarland
, in the south of the
German-speaking Community of Belgium
and in the neighbouring
French
département of
Moselle
(in
Arrondissement of Boulay-Moselle
). A dialect known as
Transylvanian Saxon
is also spoken in the
Transylvania
region of
Romania
, as a result of the emigration of numerous "
Transylvanian Saxons
" between 1100 and 1300, primarily from areas in which the Moselle Franconian dialect was spoken at that time.
