South Jutlandic
Schleswig (, , ; ; South Jutlandic: "Sljasvig"; ; archaic English: "Sleswick") is a town in the northeastern part of Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. It is the capital of the "Kreis" (district) Schleswig-Flensburg. It has a population of about 27,000, the main industries being leather and food processing. It takes its name from the Schlei, an inlet of the Baltic sea at the end of which it sits, and "vik" or "vig" which means "bay" in Old Norse and Danish. Schleswig or Slesvig therefore means "bay of the Schlei".
