Requested move

This is not a group of languages, but a subgroup of linguistic varieties of German; subgroups of linguistic varieties of the English language are called XXX English and there's no reason not to name varieties of other languages in the same way

Map

The map isn´t correct. Nuremberg and its region belong to East Franconian dialect area. German wiki "Oberdeutsche Dialekte" has a correct map: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datei:Verbreitungsgebiet_der_oberdeutschen_Mundarten.PNG Kleeblatt (talk) 12:06, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The Nuremberg dialect actually belongs to North Bavarian originally and was influenced by East Franconian only later. See German Wikipedia. --Florian Blaschke (talk) 13:15, 14 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That was 200 and more years ago. Today, in Nuremberg and surroundings East Franconian is spoken. But there are still more or less Bavarian elements.To claim that Nuremberg/Fürth dialect is not East Franconian but (north)Bavarian - native speakers would say: "a su a Gschmarri, dou zäichst am den Bressag vom Weggla" :-; ManfredV (talk) 13:59, 26 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Name of Basel German

Basel German is called Baseldeutsch in Standard German, Baseldytsch (traditional) or Baseldütsch (with /y/) in the dialect itself. The term Baslerdytsch seems to be used by (some) speakers of other dialects, probably inspired by Bünderdütsch and Walliserdütsch as terms for the (Germanic, Upper German, SWiss German, Alemannic) dialects of the Grisons and Valais.
