Hi,

there is a short introduction to the German dialects and a map on my homepage at
www.tr62.de/german.html explaining high and low German and the relation to English.
You can see at the map that the 19th century Posen was "divided" into two dialect
areas: Low German in the north, and High German in the south. The predominantly Polish
speaking areas are also shown.

Thomas
