Summary/Abstract: The article proposes an analysis of the two dialects which, though included in the same dialect area, i.e. Central German (a term referring to the geographical altitude of the dialect region), differ in terms of phonology, lexicon, pronunciation and vocabulary. Both dialects have their own particular features, but the Palatine dialect includes a range of words borrowed from French.
