another metrolect

Something similar to Berlin happened more Western in the town area of Köln. While surrounded by Ripuarian the inhabitants of the famous city are proud of their own idiom "Kölsch". Like Berlinerisch it is absolutely valued as a spoken language and thus in everyday use. We find texts written in Kölsch and musicians who prefer it to other languages.




As a foundation of the Kölner Stadtsparkasse the Akademie för uns kölsche Sproch provides research information, examples and news on http://www.koelsch-akademie.de/.
