Merge?[edit]

This article is virtually the same as Luxembourgish language#Eifeler Regel and could be merged into that section. --85.93.208.176 (talk) 12:48, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

For the moment there is nothing to merge. Purodha apparently planned to add information about Kölsch, but lost steam shortly after creating this article. In principle it's not a bad idea to have a separate article about the Eifel Rule. But it is a bad idea to have the same text about Luxemburgish in two different articles, so I will delete it from this article and add a section link. CapnPrep (talk) 19:25, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. I would NOT merge the two but would refer in Luxembourgish to the main article. The rule does not only exist in Moselle Frankish or in Ripuarian Frankish (such as Kölsch) but in most of the non-colonial varieties of the the German dialects West of the Elbe-Saale line (such as Alemannic).

I'm undoing the merge because it's done in the bad direction. The rule is a German dialect rule which occurs also in Luxembourgish. The subsection in Luxembourgish now redirects to the main article here. Eklir (talk) 21:04, 8 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I transferred the section about the rule in Luxembourgish, added the Colognian project of Purodha as another section, added a section on Alemannic and completed some sourcing. Since I have to tend to some other business, I'd be grateful if somebody could help with some wikifying, Eklir (talk) 00:20, 9 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Limburgish and other dialects of the Netherlands[edit]

A similar rule also occurs in Limburgish and other areas of the Netherlands (called the bdht-rule), while in many others final -n is deleted altogether (common in standard Dutch too). Are these two things connected? Given that there's a dialect continuum, it seems likely. CodeCat (talk) 02:48, 13 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
