Page "Hamburgisch dialect" Paragraph 0

Hamburgisch is a group of Northern Low Saxon varieties spoken in Hamburg, Germany.

Occasionally, the term Hamburgisch is also used for Hamburg Missingsch, a variety of standard German with Low Saxon substrates.

These are urban dialects that have absorbed numerous English and Dutch loanwords, for instance Törn ‘ trip ’ (< turn ) and suutje ‘ gently ’ (< Dutch zoetjes ).
