Palatine German (Standard German: Template:Lang Template:IPA, endonym: Template:Lang) is a group of Rhine Franconian dialects spoken in the Upper Rhine Valley, roughly in the area between Zweibrücken, Kaiserslautern, Alzey, Worms, Ludwigshafen am Rhein, Mannheim, Odenwald, Heidelberg, Speyer, Landau, Wörth am Rhein and the border to Alsace and Lorraine, in France, but also beyond.
The English term Palatine refers to the Palatinate region (Template:Langx). Almost all traditional dialects of the Palatinate belong to the Palatine dialect group, but the Palatine speech area also extends to the west and east into neighboring regions (Saarland, Kurpfalz, southern Hesse). The main dialect divisions within Palatine German are Template:Lang (also called Template:Lang) and Template:Lang (also called Template:Lang).<ref name=Green>Template:Cite book</ref><ref name=HerrgenVorberger2019>Template:Cite book </ref>
The Pennsylvania Dutch language is descended primarily from the Palatine German that was spoken by Palatines who immigrated to North America from the 17th to the 19th centuries and maintained their native language. Danube Swabians in Croatia and Serbia also use many elements of Palatine German.
Characteristics
To the northwest, Palatine German is separated from Moselle Franconian by the das/dat-isogloss (Palatine German uses das or similar forms) and the absence of Rhenish pitch accent.<ref name=Green/><ref name=HerrgenVorberger2019/> To the southeast, it borders on South Franconian, separated by the Appel/Apfel-line (Palatine German: Appel). Within the greater Rhine Franconian dialect area, the traditional defining isoglosses are the northern fescht/fest-line that separates Palatine German (fescht) from the Hessian dialects (fest), and the southern Haus/Hus-line that separates Palatine German (Haus) from Lorraine Franconian (Hus).<ref name=Green/>
Like other Rhine Franconian dialects, Palatine German has e-apocope (i.e. loss of earlier final -e), n-apocope (i.e. loss of earlier final n in the suffix -en) and /oː/ for earlier long a, e.g. Strooß/Strooße 'street'/'streets' (cf. Standard German Straße/Straßen). The major division of Palatine German into Template:Lang and Template:Lang is based on a bundle of distinguishing features, such as:<ref name=Green/><ref name=HerrgenVorberger2019/>
- Template:Lang lacks the suffix -en in the past participle of strong verbs (e.g. gebroch 'broken', geschripp 'written'). In Template:Lang, the suffix is retained as -e (with apocope of n, e.g. gebroche, geschriwwe).
- Loss of medial g in Template:Lang in words like frooe Template:IPA (cf. Standard German fragen). In Template:Lang, it is retained as a voiced velar fricative (frooche Template:IPA).
- Template:Lang han/hun '(I) have' against Template:Lang hap/häp.
