Talk:Alemannic German

message: Swabian is Alemannic only if the term is taken as synonymous with "western High German" (as opposed to eastern High German which includes Bavarian and Austrian). There are classifications that divide western High German into Swabian and Alemannic, to the effect that Swabian is not considered an Alemannic dialect. Both are possible, I suppose, but one has to be aware of the potential misunderstandings. dab (ᛏ) 11:52, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)

message: I just added a lot of new stuff based on a Google translation of de:Alemannische Dialekte. Therefore, all the authors of that page before the 8 October 2005 are also authors of this page. People might also want to check up on my translations from Google's ramblings. —Felix the Cassowary (ɑe hɪː jɐ) 12:14, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

message: I removed the recent edition of an "Alemannic alphabet" again. What was written there had very little to do with the variant of the Latin alphabet used for Alemannic or was outright incorrect. Apart from missing the "Umluut"s ÄÖÜ, it stated that y is only used in loan words. That's incorrect, in fact there is a long tradition of using y for various long // sounds in Alemannic, as in the word Schwyzerdütsch. --Chlämens 19:36, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

text: Okay, that answered my question, I think. Still not sure whether we should move this page... I think I prefer the shorter version, what do you all think? Shinobu (talk) 12:09, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The anglicized name of this language and the English term used by those who are familiar with it is Alemannic, and not Alemannisch or Alemannish, though those do also occur. See for instance: Orrin Robinson (1976) "A 'scattered rule in Swiss German", Toby Griffin (1992). "Transition Tempp in Swabian", Brian Lewis (1973). "Swiss German in Wisconsin", or Fleischer & Schmid (2006). "Illustrations of the IPA: Zurch German". Quote from the last one: "Zurich German belongs to the High Alemannic subgroup of Alemannic, a dialect group forming part of Upper German". Hope that clears this up once and for all. --Chlämens (talk) 03:50, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Should this be called "Alemannish"? 

message: "It is spoken...in seven countries, including southern Germany, Switzerland, France, Austria, Liechtenstein, Venezuela, and Italy." The order here is odd - it is not alphabetical, or apparently logical, and it's different from the order in the infobox. Another anomaly is the use of "southern Germany", but not "northern Italy" or "eastern France". And on a matter of semantics, seven countries don't "include" seven countries. I am taking the liberty of re-ordering and re-phrasing.  Scolaire (talk) 07:13, 12 September 2010 (UTC)

:I just edited this statement because the original wording made it sound as if all Amish speak Alemannic German which is not true. Most of them speak Pennsylvania Dutch which is a dialect of West Central German with some Alemannic influences. Peace, Dusty|💬|You can help! 16:56, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

Since the addition of 2 citations, should the template concerning few citations remain, or should it be deleted?

replies: text: Well, as you may know, many Wikipedia articles aren't so reliable, and many of them promote misinformation (not all),and for someone who uses Wikipedia, being fooled is not cool at all, however, the fact is that not all is like that, quite the opposite, they're for-fact useful, so although this is NOT good at all, I think that some deletion isn't suitable, because Wikipedia editers must go through problems, so delet something that took so much work is truly frustrating, I hope have you understand it. I'm not defending or endorsing it now, but you know, it's kind of discouraging to have your article deleted. 177.105.90.20 (talk) 15:52, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

text: It's good to make it clear that I am fully aware that misinformation is wrong, but generalizing is also too radical (IMHO), after all, we cannot judge something without even knowing, although I'm fully against misinformation, we cannot look at everything with bad eyes, this is extremely dangerous. 177.105.90.20 (talk) 15:58, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
