Revision as of 12:25, 23 January 2021 by Sarcelles (talk | contribs) (expanded slightly)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Mundart der Weichselwerder is a subdialect of Low Prussian, which belongs to Low German. The dialect was spoken in West Prussia, today in Poland. The Weichselwerder (Vistula river islands) were Żuławy Gdańskie between Wisła Gdańska and Gdańskie Wyżyny and Żuławy Malborskie between Vistula, Szkarpawa, Vistula Lagoon and Nogat. When Mennonites and other people from the Netherlands came into the area, where this subdialect is spoken, they first spoke Dutch, which was replaced, but kept as language of worship longer. Half of the Dutch there were Mennonites, the other half other Protestants. Though not all of them were from Holland, they were referred to as Hollanders. Also German colonists were referred to as Hollanders. Catherine the Great called Mennonite emigrants from the area to Russia. It is closely related to Mundart der Frischen Nehrung und der Danziger Nehrung. It is said, that Plautdietsch was spoken in this area even by non-Mennonites. Many of the Mennonites, that came to this area, spoke Low German. There were groups of Flemish Mennonites and Frisian Mennonites from the beginning of their settlement in this area. This division continued into Russia. Most of the founders of Molotschna and Chortitza colonies in Russia each were Flemish Mennonites speaking Mundart der Weichselwerder. There was a respective main variety in these two colonies. There was also another second variety of the same dialect in both, so-called Friesisch (Frisian). Mundart der Weichselwerder has alveolar r, like Mundart des Ostgebietes. Mundart der Weichselwerder has at least in some word, long u as short u and long i as short i.
