Hamburgisch Dialect
Hamburg German, also known as Hamburg dialect or Hamburger dialect (natively , ), is a group of Northern Low Saxon varieties spoken in Hamburg, Germany. Occasionally, the term ''Hamburgisch'' is also used for Hamburg ''Missingsch'', a variety of standard German with Low Saxon substrates. These are urban dialects that have absorbed numerous English and Dutch loanwords, for instance ''Törn'' 'trip' (< ''turn'') and ''suutje'' 'gently' (< Dutch ).

Typical of the Hamburg dialects and other Lower Elbe dialects is the pronunciation (and ''eu'' spelling) for the diphthong (written ''öö'', ''öh'' or ''ö''), e.g.: However, as in most other Low Saxon

German Dialects
German dialects are the various traditional local varieties of the German language. Though varied by region, those of the southern half of Germany beneath the Benrath line are dominated by the geographical spread of the High German consonant shift, and the dialect continuum that connects High German to the neighboring varieties of Low Franconian ( Dutch) and Low German. The varieties of German are conventionally grouped into Upper German, Central German and Low German; Upper and Central German form the High German subgroup. Standard German is a standardized form of High German, developed in the early modern period based on a combination of Central German and Upper German varieties.

Culture In Hamburg
Culture ( ) is a concept that encompasses the social behavior, institutions, and Social norm, norms found in human societies, as well as the knowledge, beliefs, arts, laws, Social norm, customs, capabilities, Attitude (psychology), attitudes, and habits of the individuals in these groups.Tylor, Edward. (1871). ''Primitive Culture''. Vol 1. New York: J. P. Putnam's Son Culture often originates from or is attributed to a specific region or location. Humans acquire culture through the learning processes of enculturation and socialization, which is shown by the diversity of cultures across societies.

Accepting only a monoculturalism, monoculture in a social group can bear risks, just as a single species can wither in the face of environmental change, for lack of functional respo ...

Moin
''Moin'', ''moi'' or ''mojn'' is a Low German, Frisian, High German ( or ), Danish () () greeting from East Frisia, Northern Germany, the eastern and northern Netherlands, Southern Jutland in Denmark and parts of Kashubia in northern Poland.

Missingsch
() is a type of Low-German-coloured dialect or sociolect of German. It is characterised by Low-German-type structures and the presence of numerous calques and loanwords from Low German in High German. Description A more technical definition of is that it is a type of contact variety, specifically a type of German variety with a Low German (or Low Saxon) substratum. That is the result of linguistic, cultural, educational and political Germanisation of the region that is now Northern Germany. The process of Germanisation began in earnest in the late 17th century, after the demise of the Hanseatic League and thus the erosion of its Middle-Saxon-speaking power. Pressures to adopt German but being held back by insufficient access to formal (by now solely-German) education in the lower social classes led to various stages of transition from Low German to High German. The generally low-prestige language varieties continued to be spoken and rarely written until the late 20th c ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
