Low Franconian
English
Proper noun
- A group of continental West Germanic languages and dialects; spoken chiefly in the Netherlands, Flanders, and the Lower Rhine area of Germany.
Usage notes
- Note that Low Franconian is not spoken in the Bavarian region of Lower Franconia (Niederfranken), where, as in virtually all of Franconia, an Upper Franconian dialect is used. The linguistic term refers to the historic Franks, not the modern region.
