Aachen dialect (natively ''Öcher Platt'') is a dialect of Ripuarian Franconian spoken in the German Rhineland city of Aachen. This dialect, as part of the large West Germanic dialect continuum, is to a large extent similar to the dialects spoken in Eschweiler and in Stolberg. Aachen dialect has a tonal component, which, like Welsh English, is often described as "singsongy" by the layman. It is perhaps closest to the Vaals ''(Vólsj)'', Bocholtz ''(Boches)'' and Kerkrade ''(Kirchröadsj)'' dialects, which are spoken in the Netherlands, only a few miles away. ==Words== *The word ''Prentekopp'' (''Standard German:'' Printenkopf) is a well used swear word *''Hömmele'' instead of the words ''sehr'' (very) or ''viel'' (a lot/much) - e.g. "Das hat aber hömmele Geld gekostet!" (But that cost a lot of money!) *''Öcher Mösch'' is a nickname for the Aachen boys choir (German: Aachener Domspatzen) *''Trottwa'' is used for pavement from the French ''trottoir'' *''Paraplü'' for an umbrella influenced by the French ''parapluie'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Aachen dialect」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
