English Translation
Nevertheless, all the influences from the south were spoken in a Silesian dialect. The Middle Bavarian people from the first Siedel period were too weakened to allow the numerous immigrants to melt down completely and linguistically. Seen from the dialect, a mixture arose in which colloquial language from the city of Dlmüß was once permeated, which at the same time means a transformation in "southern" direction, whereby also the old peasant language here and there more closely influenced. Is the Middle Bavaria, to which the reason for the German island goes back, come at once or in several stages and is it the northern tip of an organic advance to the north? The second question is to be denied. The German villages near Dlmüß were born so early — Izgo is already a fully developed German entity - that it is not possible to think of an stage-by-stage advance of South Moravia over Wischau and German Prussia. But the starting point is probably the same. This is the answer to the first question, because if it is an advance in front of the Central Bavarian settlement in Middle Moravia, then it can only be thought of as an Einsat of a closed group. We can therefore assume that, before the Thirty Years' War, the same Middle Bavarian dialect was spoken in all German villages around Dlmüß, which is still to be heard today in Nebotein. But Nebotein is so close to the closed Silesian tribal floor that one wonders how to find no more middle German like the East Central German displacement stand at pp, mp (i.e. it is spoken in "Apple" and mp in "Strumpf"), then "Sunday" and not "Saturday", continue to burn, bring" and mances others. The Dlmüzer Volksinsel was not the only outpost of the Middle Bavarian settlement in northern Moravia, but above all the Brükenkopf. A pillar of the German bridge through the middle Moravia was then also Tobitschau, which lies between German-Prussia and Dlmeuß. Stibor won Zimburg and Tobitshan, to which the famous "Tobitschauer Buch" goes back, wrote a letter here in 1466, which clearly betrays a Slav as an author and contains the Middle German in addition to predominantly Bavarian traits. This brings us to something else, to a German "adelsprache", if one can say so, to German used by the German and non-German gentlemen, which has been not only written but also spoken. The head of the castle on the Schaumburg near Keltsch, Hensel von Kowalowiß, who wrote a again strong Bavarian peculiarities on pointing letter 137o, was however a German; at that time, therefore, a middle-Bahrisch coloured colloquial language was common in the vicinity of the Silesian cowländ on theschaumburg. It is not yet quite clear, as is the case with the Central Bavarian proportion in the Füdschlesian region.
