Alemannic German
In the area of the gorge, the Wutach separates the Lake Constance Alemannic German dialect region north of the gorge, from the High Alemannic German-speaking region south of it. This is particularly noticeable in the different way the letter "k" is spoken. On the northern side they say "Kind" ("child") and "Kuchi" (= Küche or "kitchen"), whilst in the south they say "Chind" and "Chuchi", which is closer to the dialect of neighbouring Switzerland. The locals call those living on the other side of the gorge, the "Enne-Wiätler" ("far side of the Wutachers").
