  1. 1.

    A dialect group of Low Franconian that shows certain High German characteristics, especially traces of the shift k → ch in function words and the split of Proto-Germanic *au into two phonemes (ō~ū before alveolars and au~ou otherwise).

    For example, the ik/ich line runs further north and west than the maken/machen line from the Lower Rhine of Germany into Belgium, creating a major division within Low Franconian: the dialects with unshifted /k/ are classified as North Low Franconian while those with shifted /k/ are classified South Low Franconian.
