[edit] Dialect or language?
It is not unusual that a German dialect be unintellibible for speakers of standard German only. This argument alone does not qualify for it not a dialect of German.
Another argument often used in order to identify a certain variety of German as a German dialect is whether it is culturally embedded within the German language. In the case of the Alsatian language, for instance, this is not the case for many speakers, since they use rather the French language as written language and do not master standard German. The is (or was) true for the speakers of Walser German in Northwestern Italy (which is also totally unintelligible to speakers of standard German only).
Does anybody know how this is in the case of Cimbrian? If I have the time, I'll try to figure it out. -- j. 'mach' wust ˈtʰɔ̝ːk͡x 09:16, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Map: "13 komoinen" and "7 komoinen" have to be reversed
The labels "13 comoine" (which I would more likely write "13 komoinen", but it seems to fit anyway) and "7 comoine" (same comment as before) in the map on the right must be reversed. So, we would have "13 comoine" (which are Velo Veronese (Vellje-Feld), Roverè Veronese (Roveràit) Erbezzo, (gen Wiese), Selva di Progno (Prugne and Ljetzan), Bosco Chiesanuova (Nuagankirchen), Badia Calavena (Kalwein, Kam'Abato), Cerro Veronese (Silva Hermanorum), San Mauro di Saline (San Moritz), Azzarino, San Bortolo, Val di Porro (Porrental), Tavernole, Camposilvano (Kampsilvan)) near Verona, and "7 comoine" (which are Asiago (Sleghe), Roana (Robaan), Rotzo (Rotz), Gallio (Ghel), Enego (Ghenebe), Foza (Vuesche), Lusiana (Lusaan), Conco (Kunken)) near Vicenza. The "7 comoine" are actually 8, because Kunken has divided from Lusaan some time ago.
