Westphalian language
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Westphalian is one of the major dialect groups of Low Saxon. Its most salient feature is the diphthongization (rising diphthongs). For example, we get iEten instead of E:ten for eat. The Westphalian dialect region includes the northern part of North Rhine-Westphalia, i.e. the former Prussiann province of Westphalia excluding the Siegerland and the region around Osnabrück.
