Natangian (Natangisch) was a Low Prussian dialect, spoken in Natangen, East Prussia.[1]

Geography

[edit]

It was spoken in Natangen around Zinten, Bartenstein, Friedland, Drengfurt and Rastenburg.[2] Natangian has or used to have a border with Breslausch (a High Prussian dialect), Mundart des Kürzungsgebiets, Ostsamländisch, Mundart des Ostgebietes, Westkäslausch and Ostkäslausch.[3] There was a border of Prince-Bishopric of Warmia to the state of the Teutonic Order, which also was the border of Natangian to Ostkäslausch.[4]

Phonology

[edit]

In difference to Samländisch, vowel breaking of every long e to ei and every o to ou and the word dirch are characteristic.[5] It has significant features shared with Mundart der Elbinger Höhe.[6] A is palatal.[7]
