Lorraine Franconian (or Platt) is a general term used in Lorraine not for one, but three languages :

  • Rhine Frankish or Rhine Franconian;
  • Moselle Frankish or Moselle Franconian;
  • the third one used in Lorraine is the same as Luxembourgish.

The term German is not used in Lorraine. When they speak French they refer to it as francique (i.e. Frankish or Franconian) or, when they speak the dialect they refer to it as Platt.

In linguistics the term German must be used only in Low German, Central German and High German.

  • The designation Franconian German simply does not exist, neither does Lorrainian German.
  • This page should be called Franconian languages.
